Fellow Stockholders:

made it impossible to match our record performance in fiscal 2009,
we redoubled our efforts to manage our companies more effectively
and efficiently through aggressive cost control and continued
emphasis on cash generation. Likewise, our conservative financial
management practices have allowed us to avoid excessive debt
and to remain strong even during perilous economic times.

As we refined and enhanced our operations, we continued to
make progress toward our strategic goals. Work began on our
new manufacturing facilities in Zacatecas, Mexico – which
ultimately will allow us to better manage production costs and to
expand the capacity of our domestic U.S. manufacturing plants.
Together with our new Bangkok maintenance facility and our
operations in Europe and Asia, the Mexican expansion reflects
Triumph’s growing global footprint.

In March we acquired Fabritech, a leading component
manufacturer and repair station for critical military helicopter
platforms. Fabritech brings us extensive experience in the military
rotary-wing market, which we can leverage across our entire
organization. The company will operate as Triumph Fabrications-
St. Louis, joining our Aftermarket Services Group.

Our presence in the rotary-wing aircraft market continues to grow.
In July 2009 Triumph was awarded a multi-year supply agreement
by Bell Helicopter to provide the main transmission assembly for
the 429 light twin IFR helicopter. In October 2009 Triumph was
selected to develop systems and critical components for the
Sikorsky CH-53K helicopter being developed to provide heavy lift
capability for the U.S. Marine Corps. Both of these awards involve
collaboration among multiple Triumph companies.

Despite uncertainties in the economy, our backlog for both fixed-
wing aircraft and rotorcraft increased as aerospace manufacturers
moved steadily toward consistent production schedules for the
next generation of aircraft needed to replace aging fleets. Likewise,
the business jet market showed signs of recovery as corporate
profits and general economic conditions improve.

In late July, we strengthened our management team with the
appointment of Jeffry D. Frisby, former President of Triumph’s
Aerospace Systems Group, as President and Chief Operating
Officer. David Kornblatt, our Chief Financial Officer, was promoted
from Senior Vice President to Executive Vice President. Both have
played key roles in making Triumph what it is today – a premier
supplier to the global aerospace industry known for its
commitment to integrity, innovation, quality and performance.

RICHARD C. ILL

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Fiscal 2010 was a most successful year for the Triumph Group.
We achieved excellent financial results despite strong economic
headwinds, strengthened our management team with the
appointment of a new President and Chief Operating Officer, and
announced a major acquisition that will nearly triple our annual
revenues and launch Triumph into the ranks of the aerospace
industry’s Tier One suppliers.

The acquisition of Vought Aircraft from The Carlyle Group, a global
private equity investment firm, heralds a new chapter in Triumph’s
relatively short history. The addition of Vought, a major global
supplier of aerostructures for the commercial, military and business
aviation industries, provides the size and scale to allow all Triumph
companies to compete successfully at any level of the aerospace
supply chain.

I want to emphasize that this latest move, while bold in magnitude
and impact, is a logical extension of our long-standing acquisitions
strategy, and does not portend any significant change in our company
strategy or business philosophy. We remain committed to the bedrock
principles responsible for Triumph’s growth in terms of both financial
performance and reputation since our founding in 1993.

A Year of Performance
Even though the aerospace industry is cyclical, Triumph expects to
profit in all phases of the business cycle, and fiscal 2010 was no
exception. While retrenchment throughout the aerospace industry

2

Triumph Annual Report.FINAL.062910:Layout 1  6/30/10  3:35 PM  Page 3

An Opportunity Emerges
The solid financial results we achieved in fiscal 2010 positioned
Triumph to take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, even in
a challenging economy. Such an opportunity emerged when we
were approached by The Carlyle Group about acquiring their
ownership investment in Vought Aircraft Industries, Inc. Triumph
has had a long and profitable relationship with Vought as a key
supplier. We were familiar with the company and its management,
and were intrigued by its emergence as a potential acquisition
candidate.

Vought met all of Triumph’s strategic requirements – the same
standards we apply to all acquisitions – only on a much larger
scale. Its assets included a strong management team, a profitable
product portfolio that expands Triumph’s franchise, and the ability
to make an immediate contribution to earnings. Moreover, the
Vought acquisition offered a rare opportunity to increase Triumph’s
size and scale significantly in a single transaction – emerging as a
key Tier One supplier in the aerospace marketplace.

Following due diligence, the acquisition was announced on 
March 23, 2010. The acquisition was subsequently approved by
regulatory officials and the stockholders of both companies, and
the transaction closed on June 16, 2010.

With this latest acquisition Triumph has grown from a company
with $1.3 billion in revenues in fiscal 2010 to one with $3.2 billion
in pro forma revenues in the same period. Triumph now supplies
large aerostructures such as wing, fuselage and nacelle
components for a cross section of aviation platforms, including
fixed wing and rotary wing, in the commercial, military and
business jet markets. Most important, our existing Triumph
companies provide complementary skills and capabilities to add
value to those aerostructures – with a range of state-of-the-art
products, technologies and services. 

Transition with Stability
Admittedly, it’s unusual for any company to acquire an entity larger
than itself, and many have asked how such a major change will
affect Triumph’s strategy and management philosophy. Throughout
our history, we’ve employed a unique, decentralized management
philosophy that places both discretion and accountability with our
individual companies, while maintaining a small corporate staff.
We’ve taken pride in our ability to act as a big company and as a
small company simultaneously.

Will this change, now that Triumph is a “big company?”

No. Our work culture will not change, because it’s the foundation
for all the success Triumph has achieved. It is part of our DNA.

Likewise our business strategy will remain constant, comprising
five key principles: 

(cid:129) Continually add products and services.

(cid:129) Expand operating capacity.

(cid:129) Acquire aggressively.

(cid:129) Market our complete portfolio of capabilities.

(cid:129) Expand internationally.

Our values – integrity, innovation, quality and service – are reflected
in our Code of Business Conduct and guide our every action.

The former Vought organization is being reorganized into three
profit centers, each led by its own management team accountable
for achieving specific sales and profit objectives. Each will adopt
the Triumph name, and each will operate on the same basis as
other Triumph companies. Triumph management will establish the
overall direction and performance standards for the entire
organization. Each individual company will be accountable for
attaining corporate goals, but will have broad latitude and
discretion to apply our strategies in ways that make sense for their
own customers and markets. 

While the Vought acquisition represents a major transition for
Triumph, our strategy and business philosophy remain stable and
constant in the ways they affect our customers, our employees,
our suppliers and our stockholders.

Our Partnership with Customers
Triumph will continue to go to market under the banner “One
name. Many solutions.” Even as we expect each Triumph
operating company to achieve its own goals, we recognize that a
primary source of growth comes from our companies working
together, crossing disciplines and areas of expertise to meet a
broader range of our customers’ needs. Ultimately, the way our
companies work together is customer driven, as project teams and
alliances emerge to address specific needs.

These growth opportunities are greater than ever with our new
aerostructures capabilities. As a Tier One Capable supplier, we are
now able to design, engineer, manufacture and service not only
entire aircraft structures but also their contents – drawing on the
combined expertise of all 44 Triumph companies. We’re able to
leverage our size and scale to meet multiple, highly complex
needs, offering our customers the convenience of working with a
single source.

3

Triumph Annual Report.FINAL.062910:Layout 1  6/30/10  3:35 PM  Page 4

However, we’re careful to emphasize our intention to be a Tier One
“Capable” supplier. We believe we have a distinct competitive
advantage in our ability to participate at any level of the aerospace
supply chain – from the production of individual parts and
components to the design, manufacture and maintenance of large
aircraft structures. 

As companies experiment with different kinds of partnerships at all
levels of the supply chain, we will be careful to ensure that all
relationships are profitable and do not expose Triumph to
excessive risk. In situations where we are unable to participate as
a risk-sharing partner, we will seek opportunities to contribute our
expertise in other ways. We’re eager to deploy our full range of
capabilities in the service of all our customers, confident that we
can be profitable in all our relationships. 

Our Partnership with Employees
Integrating the Triumph and Vought organizations is a major
undertaking, given the challenge of installing our distinctive
management philosophy in the highly centralized Vought
organization. Likewise, there are redundancies that must be
eliminated as we build a single, highly efficient company. 

We will proceed cautiously after careful analysis of Vought’s
capabilities to determine which of Vought’s systems and
procedures may benefit all our companies. We’re particularly
impressed with Vought’s management depth, and believe that, by
organizing the company into independent profit centers, we’ll be
able to retain that talent to provide the managerial discipline
required in each operating unit.

Triumph has an obligation to our customers and to our stockholders
to build a lean and efficient company. Some may be surprised by
the frugality of our day-to-day decision-making, the small size of our
corporate staff, and amenities common at many companies that we
do without. It’s our conviction that every dollar we save by avoiding
unnecessary expenditures makes us more competitive and
profitable – and that ultimately competitive, profitable companies
offer the greatest opportunity for career growth.

There’s no question whatsoever that Triumph’s future depends on
the talent, skills and creativity of our people. In a global marketplace
showing little respect for boundaries of any nature, our people are
Triumph’s decisive, differentiating competitive advantage.

Our Partnership with Suppliers
The aerospace supply chain is a complex, interconnected web,
with competing relationships at many different levels. As a new,

larger organization, we will explore opportunities to rationalize
supply lines and to encourage collaboration among all Triumph
companies. This consolidation is a natural consequence of any
acquisition.

At the same time, we recognize that our success depends on fair
dealing with all our suppliers, and we value our reputation as a
trusted business partner. Sourcing decisions will be based on
customer needs and grounded on what makes the best economic
sense. Triumph’s success as a supplier depends in large measure
on the outstanding support we receive from our own supply chain,
and we will continue to value and cultivate these important
relationships.

Our Partnership with Stockholders
Triumph’s mission has always been to build shareholder value, and
that’s especially true today. The fact that we’ve become a much
larger company does not change this central duty in any way.

The unusual opportunity to significantly increase our revenues 
and capabilities in a single transaction has allowed us to leapfrog
the many incremental steps that would have been required to 
build a Tier One Capable company. Immediately we will have the 
ability to leverage our size and scale to involve more of our
companies in meeting a broader range and a greater volume of
our customers’ needs. 

What made the Vought acquisition so attractive was the excellent
strategic fit between our two companies and the possibility of adding
significant new technical capabilities – at a very attractive valuation.
The seller, The Carlyle Group, will continue to participate in our
growth and profitability through a 31% minority ownership interest in
Triumph. Even though the potential synergies are many, this is not an
acquisition whose success depends on optimistic speculation and
wishful thinking. The transaction has immediately increased our
projected earnings per share for fiscal 2011 and beyond.

Looking Ahead
Our 2011 fiscal year will be full of challenge as we introduce 
the Triumph culture to the Vought organization and begin to
integrate our capabilities as one company offering many solutions
to our customers. 

We expect that the business environment in the aerospace
industry will remain volatile. Economic uncertainty appears to be
the “new normal,” and we will continue to employ conservative
financial management principles that provide the flexibility required
to address any contingency.

Despite the inevitable ups and downs in the global and regional
economies, we believe the overall outlook is quite favorable based
on a number of key factors:

(cid:129) As a new generation of aviation platforms complete testing and
move into full production, demand for new aircraft will build as
existing fleets continue to age.

(cid:129) Unrest in hotspots throughout the world will continue to fuel

demand for military aircraft – particularly transports, rotorcraft and
unmanned vehicles. 

(cid:129) The economic power of Asia and its rising standard of living will

increase demand for aircraft of all types. This trend is powerful and
irreversible. 

(cid:129) Greater demand will increase competition among manufacturers,
and OEMs will rely on their primary suppliers to a greater extent
than ever before. 

(cid:129) As corporate profits rebound and airlines cut back schedules to

the most profitable routes, demand for business jets will rebound.

Together, these forces point toward a future of growth and profit
for Triumph Group companies. We are a key contributor to a broad
array of aviation platforms, and are well positioned to provide
integrated design, engineering, manufacturing and maintenance
support to a growing customer base.

In Closing
The past year has been decisive for Triumph, and has reaffirmed
the wisdom of our strategy, philosophy and values. 

At a time when many companies were cutting back and
regrouping, we took advantage of our strong financial position to
take control of our destiny. As the result of a single transaction, 
we increased Triumph’s potential by a factor we can only imagine.

We remain a young company with an exciting vision for the future.
Now over 12,000 strong, we are ready to take on the challenges
of a changing world – confident of our ability to compete and win
in the marketplace.

Integrating Technology, Performance and Value

Triumph’s recent acquisition of Vought Aircraft Industries creates a Tier One Capable supplier with the
flexibility to serve any level of the aerospace supply chain – from a single part to a fully integrated
aerostructure – all through a single point of contact.

As a major subcontractor for a broad range of commercial and military aircraft programs, Triumph serves
as an important link between aircraft manufacturers and the aerospace supply chain – producing not only
large aerostructures such as wings, fuselages, nacelles and helicopter cabins, but also the control systems
which complete those structures and integrate them with other major aircraft components.

Triumph has the capability to form and machine both large and small components – adding value with
expertise in exotic materials, composites, metals finishing, and thermal and acoustic technologies.
Drawing on the skills of its Advanced Control Systems companies, Triumph has the ability to produce
fully integrated aircraft structures with complete control and power systems, ready to attach to
adjacent airframe structures.

Triumph offers a full complement of Design and Engineering, R&D, Testing, Manufacturing, Integration
and Assembly, and MRO capabilities. Customers are able to access as few or as many services as
they require.

Design and Engineering

Triumph's design and engineering teams have the skills and experience required to transform ideas and
concepts into finished product solutions for customers. No job is too small or too large – from simple
brackets to major structural assemblies with complete control systems.

Proficiency in product data definition translation allows Triumph to support customers using virtually all
computer-aided design software packages. Triumph’s primary focus is on functionality and
“producibility”. Digital mockups are rigorously tested to assure maximum efficiency, productivity, safety
and production stability. 

Research and Development

Extensive experience with new and emerging technologies allows Triumph to design products that
establish new standards of excellence – increasing performance, reducing weight and maintenance
requirements, and improving cost efficiency.

Triumph collaborates with customers to solve complex aerospace engineering problems through the use
of new and advanced materials and production methods. Recent examples include fully integrated wing
assemblies, advanced material empennages, damage-resistant leading edges, improved aircraft doors,
and more efficient insulation and sound-dampening materials. 

Testing Laboratories

Triumph maintains test facilities comparable to prime aerospace OEMs offering full life-cycle testing
capabilities – with U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, and Federal Aviation Administration certification, as well as
U.S. Department of Defense security clearances.

Located in Dallas, Texas, the laboratory provides comprehensive capabilities for test design and
fabrication, coupon and component testing, structures testing, full-scale structure testing, and advanced
development and certification testing.

Integration and Assembly

Because of its diversity and scale, Triumph is able to participate at any level of the manufacturing process,
contributing solutions required to produce a fully integrated structure or assembly. With support from its
Advanced Control Systems companies, Triumph is able to produce and assemble fully integrated
aerostructures such as wings – complete with electrical harnesses, flight surface and controls, hydraulic
lines and power supplies – ready to attach to the fuselage. 

Triumph’s ability to provide this diverse range of services through a single point of contact makes the
company unique among Tier One suppliers. By meeting a broader range of customer needs, Triumph
delivers added value while reducing total procurement costs.

Manufacturing

Triumph has the capability to fabricate any part, component, assembly or structure in limited or extended
production runs. World-class, state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities allow Triumph to meet virtually any
customer need – limiting outsourcing risk by providing maximum value and scheduling flexibility.

Precision
 Machining

Triumph’s precision machining capability is unmatched in the aerospace world. Triumph has the

capability to machine and fabricate nearly any material used in the aerospace industry – including

exotic materials such as molybdenum, tungsten and tantalum. 

Triumph produces components of all sizes – ranging from small parts to large structures such as

wings, bulkheads, fuselages and landing gear components. In addition to a very large part turning

capacity, Triumph’s multi-axis machining centers are capable of producing components in excess of

100 feet in length.

Metal 
Fabrication

Triumph’s capabilities for metal fabrication and assembly range from monolithic one-piece structures to

complex multi-part assemblies. Triumph companies offer the capability to fabricate nearly any type of

metal, including aluminum, titanium, all classifications of steel, and inconel. We also offer chemical

milling capabilities for optimization of part strength and weight.

A partial list of products includes: wings, fuselages, empennages, nacelles, doors, helicopter cabins,

nose and main landing gear assemblies, drag brace assemblies, rib cords, spars, stringers, window

frames, longerons, bulkheads, seat/cargo tracks, floor beams, thrust reverser sliders, hinges and

latches, trunnions, crown frames, and bell cranks.

Metal 
Finishing

In addition to fabrication, Triumph offers metal processing capabilities including all types of anodizes,

primers and top coatings, with facilities able to accommodate part sizes in excess of 100 feet in length.

Triumph supports Tier One and Tier Two suppliers with finishing capabilities for a broad array of aviation

platforms, while also serving the finishing needs of Triumph companies.

Composite 
Systems

Triumph recognizes the need for composite materials in applications where traditional metal structures

and assemblies are not the optimal material choice. Triumph engineers and scientists apply their

technical expertise in the areas of chemistry, composites, polymers, metals, paints and coatings in

conjunction with a wide variety of materials and surfaces.

Composite products are utilized in environmental control system ducting, feeder and mixer bays, floor

panels, cockpit floors, crown panel assemblies, exterior surfaces and flight deck systems. Triumph also

produces transparencies for rotary- and fixed-wing window applications.

Advanced Control Systems

Complementing its ability to manufacture large aerostructures, Triumph designs, engineers and
manufactures the mechanisms and control systems which allow those structures to function within an
aircraft. These systems include geared products, electromechanical and hydraulic actuation systems,
thermal controls and instrumentation. 

Geared Products

Triumph has two Centers of Excellence for the design and manufacture of gears and gear boxes.

Capabilities range from simple gear cutting and grinding to complex gear trains and gear boxes and

aircraft-mounted accessory drives. Triumph specializes in close-tolerance aerospace gear and gear

train applications, supporting all major manufacturers of commercial and military fixed-wing aircraft and

rotorcraft. 

Electromechanical
Systems

Triumph specializes in electromechanical actuation, software and control, and is expert in the latest fly-

by-wire technologies in use today. Triumph can provide complete system architecture studies and can

manufacture virtually any type of motion control system using electrical power – from simple actuations

to complex flight control and braking systems. A leader in the emerging electromechanical braking

actuation technologies for fixed wing aircraft, Triumph also provides electromechanical control systems

to replace and upgrade traditional hydraulic and pneumatic control systems. 

Hydraulic
Systems

Triumph has the ability and experience to conduct architectural system studies for the design and

manufacture of all components which typically comprise a hydraulic system – for both commercial and

military applications. Utilizing the capabilities of multiple Triumph companies, the goal is to create a

system that best meets the customer’s requirements and needs, encompassing high pressure

hydraulic pumps, reservoirs, heat exchangers, transport elements and control valving. 

Controls and
Cables

Four Triumph sites are dedicated to the mechanical connections between controls and actuations.

Components include push-pull, ball bearing low resistance, and backlash mechanical control system

cables. Both cable control and ball bearing control systems provide higher reliability and lighter weight

than comparable rod/crank and cable pulley systems. In addition, these controls are easier to install

and maintain and offer a greater selection of control boxes and output devices. The precision ball

bearing controls are used in applications with longer routing and higher loads.

Thermal Controls

Triumph specializes in the design, development, manufacture, sales and service of thermal control

products for the aerospace industry, ranging from insulation systems and blankets to acoustic noise

reduction for airframes. Triumph also provides plate fin, tubular surface heat exchangers, liquid cooling

systems, electronic cooling systems, oil reservoirs, high temperature bleed air environmental control

systems, heat exchangers, hydraulic and fuel coolers, and heaters for aerospace systems.

Cockpit Controls

Triumph designs and produces the control systems that connect critical flight control systems through

mechanical means or software. Triumph offers a range of aircraft cockpit controls and instruments –

including pilot/copilot control wheels, landing gear and park brake levers, flap and spoiler selection

controls, and steering tillers.

PART I

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning  of  the Private  Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating  to  our future operations and prospects, including statements
that are based on current projections  and  expectations about the markets in which we operate, and
management’s beliefs concerning future  performance and capital  requirements based upon  current
available information. Actual results  could differ materially from management’s current expectations.
Additional capital may be required and,  if  so, may  not  be  available  on reasonable  terms, if at  all,  at the
times and in the amounts we need. In  addition to these factors  and others described  elsewhere in  this
report, other  factors that could cause  actual results  to  differ  materially include  competitive and  cyclical
factors relating to the aerospace industry, dependence of some of our  businesses on  key  customers,
requirements of capital, product liabilities in excess of insurance,  uncertainties  relating to the
integration of acquired businesses, general  economic conditions  affecting our business segment,
technological developments, limited availability of raw materials or skilled personnel,  changes in
governmental regulation and oversight and international hostilities  and  terrorism. For a  more detailed
discussion of these and other factors  affecting us,  see the Risk Factors described in Item  1A of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K. We do  not undertake any obligation to revise these forward-looking
statements to reflect future events.

General

Triumph Group, Inc. (‘‘Triumph’’ or  the ‘‘Company’’) was incorporated in 1993 in Delaware. Our
companies design, engineer, manufacture,  repair, overhaul and distribute aircraft components, such  as
hydraulic, mechanical and electromechanical control systems, aircraft  and  engine accessories, structural
components and assemblies, non-structural composite  components, thermal acoustic insulation systems,
auxiliary power units, or APUs, avionics  and aircraft instruments. We serve a  broad spectrum of  the
aerospace industry, including original  equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, of commercial, regional,
business and military aircraft and components, as well as commercial  airlines and air cargo carriers.

In March 2010, we acquired Fabritech, Inc. (now Triumph Fabrications—St.  Louis). Through the
addition of Triumph Fabrications—St.  Louis,  we have added high-end maintenance and manufactured
solutions focused on aviation drive train, mechanical, hydraulic  and electrical hardware items including
gearboxes, cargo hooks and vibration  absorbers. Triumph Fabrications—St. Louis also produces
fabricated textile items such as seat cushions  and  sound insulation blankets for  military  rotary-wing
platforms. The results of Triumph Fabrications—St. Louis are  included  in the Company’s Aftermarket
Services Segment from the date of acquisition.

In March 2010, we entered into definitive agreement to purchase Vought Aircraft Industries, Inc.
(‘‘Vought’’) from TC Group, L.L.C. (‘‘Carlyle’’) for cash and  stock consideration. Vought  is a leading
global  manufacturer of aerostructures for  commercial, military  and  business jet aircraft. Products
include fuselages, wings, empennages, nacelles and helicopter cabins. Vought’s customer base is
comprised of the leading global aerospace OEMs and over 80% of their revenue is  from sole source,
long-term contracts. Vought’s revenues  for the year ended  December  31, 2009 were $1.9 billion and
they employed approximately 5,900 people. Following  the closing of this  acquisition, Carlyle will own
approximately 31% of the outstanding common stock of Triumph and will be subject  to  certain  lock-up
provisions. The transaction is subject to customary  closing conditions, including regulatory approvals
and approval of Triumph shareholders,  and is expected to be completed in July 2010.  The  acquired
business will operate as Triumph Aerostructures—Vought Aircraft  Division, LLC.

Products and Services

We  offer a variety of products and services to the aerospace industry through  two groups of
operating businesses: (i) Triumph Aerospace Systems  Group, whose companies design, engineer and
manufacture a wide range of proprietary and build-to-print  components, assemblies and  systems for the
global  aerospace OEM market; and (ii) Triumph Aftermarket  Services Group,  whose  companies serve
aircraft fleets, notably commercial airlines,  the U.S.  military  and cargo carriers, through  the
maintenance, repair and overhaul of  aircraft components  and accessories manufactured by third parties.

Our Aerospace Systems Group utilizes its capabilities to design, engineer and build  complete
metallic structural assemblies, as well as mechanical, electromechanical, hydraulic  and hydromechanical
control systems, while continuing to broaden the  scope  of detailed parts and assemblies that we  supply

spare parts. This group also includes companies  performing  complex manufacturing, machining and
forming processes for a full range of  structural  components, as well as complete assemblies and
subassemblies. This group services the full spectrum of aerospace  customers, which  include aerospace
OEMs and the top-tier manufacturers  who  supply them and  airlines,  air  cargo carriers,  and domestic
and foreign militaries.

Certain financial information about our  two segments  can be found in Note 21 of ‘‘Notes to

Consolidated Financial Statements.’’

Proprietary Rights

We  benefit from our proprietary rights relating to designs, engineering and manufacturing

processes and repair and overhaul procedures. For some  products, our unique manufacturing
capabilities are required by the customer’s specifications or designs,  thereby necessitating  reliance  on us
for the production of such specially designed products.

We  view our name and mark as significant  to  our  business as  a whole. Our products are  protected

by a portfolio of patents, trademarks, licenses or other forms of intellectual property that expire  at
various dates in the future. We develop  and  acquire new intellectual property on an  ongoing  basis and
consider all of our intellectual property to be valuable. However, based  on the broad scope of our
product  lines, management believes that the loss or expiration of any single intellectual property  right
would not have a material effect on our  results of operations,  our financial position or  our business

5

segments. Our policy is to file applications and obtain patents for our new  products as appropriate,
including product modifications and improvements.  While  patents generally expire  20 years after the
patent application filing date, new patents  are issued to us on a regular basis.

In our overhaul and repair businesses, OEMs of equipment that we maintain for  our customers
increasingly include language in repair manuals  that relate to  their  equipment asserting broad claims of
proprietary rights to the contents of  the manuals  used  in our  operations. There can  be  no assurance
that OEMs will not try to enforce such claims including the possible use of legal proceedings.  In  the
event of such legal proceedings, there  can be no  assurance that such  actions against the Company  will
be unsuccessful. However, we believe  that our use of  manufacture and repair manuals  is lawful.

Raw Materials and Replacement Parts

We  purchase raw materials, primarily  consisting of extrusions, forgings, castings, aluminum and

titanium sheets and shapes, from various vendors.  We also  purchase replacement parts which are
utilized in our various repair and overhaul  operations. We believe that the availability of raw materials
to us is adequate to support our operations.

Sales, Marketing and Engineering

While each of our operating companies maintains responsibility for selling and marketing  its
specific  products, we have developed two  group marketing teams  focused on  cross-selling  our  broad
capabilities. The focus of these two marketing organizations, one for  the Aerospace Systems Group and
one for the Aftermarket Services Group,  is to sell systems, integrated assemblies  and repair and
overhaul services, reaching across our operating  companies, to our OEM,  military,  airline and  air  cargo
customers. We also conduct sales activities in  the Wichita,  Kansas area through  Triumph  Wichita
Support Center, a third-party sales organization dedicated  solely to a  sales effort on behalf of Triumph
Group companies, which is staffed by sales professionals focused  on Boeing IDS,  Spirit AeroSystems,
Cessna, Bombardier/Learjet and Raytheon.  In certain  limited  cases, we  use independent, commission-
based representatives to facilitate responsiveness to each customer’s changing needs and  current trends
in each market/geographic region in  which we  operate.

All three of these marketing organizations operate as the  front-end of  the selling  process,

establishing or maintaining relationships,  identifying opportunities to leverage our brand, and providing
service for our customers. Each individual operating company  is responsible  for its own  engineering
and technical support, pricing, manufacturing and product  support. Also,  within the Aerospace Systems
Group, we have created a group engineering  function to provide integrated  solutions  to  meet our
customer needs by designing systems  that  integrate the capabilities of our companies.

A significant portion of our government and defense contracts are awarded  on a  competitive
bidding basis. We generally do not bid or  act as  the primary contractor, but will typically bid and act  as
a subcontractor on contracts on a fixed-fee basis. We generally sell to our  other customers  on a
fixed-fee, negotiated contract or purchase  order basis.

Backlog

We  have a number of long-term agreements with several of our customers. These agreements
generally describe the terms under which the customer  may issue  purchase  orders  to  buy our products
and services during the term of the agreement. These terms typically  include a list of the products or
repair services customers may purchase, initial pricing, anticipated quantities and, to the extent known,
delivery dates. In tracking and reporting  our backlog, however,  we only include amounts for which  we
have actual purchase orders with firm  delivery dates or contract requirements generally within  the next
24 months, which primarily relates to sales to our OEM  customer  base.  Purchase  orders  issued by our
aftermarket customers are usually completed within a short  period  of time. As a result, our  backlog
data relates primarily to the OEM customers. The  backlog information set forth below does not include
the sales that we expect to generate from long-term  agreements for which  we do not have  actual
purchase orders with firm delivery dates.

As of March 31, 2010, our continuing operations  had outstanding purchase orders representing an
aggregate invoice price of approximately $1,309  million,  of  which $1,260  million  and $49  million  relate
to the Aerospace Systems Group and  the Aftermarket  Services Group, respectively. As of March 31,
2009, our continuing operations had  outstanding purchase orders representing an  aggregate invoice
price of approximately $1,323 million,  of which $1,282 million and $41 million relate to the  Aerospace
Systems Group and the Aftermarket  Services  Group, respectively. Of the existing backlog of
$1,309 million, approximately $478 million will  not be shipped by March  31, 2011.

Dependence on Significant Customer

For the year ended March 31, 2010, the  Boeing  Company, or Boeing, represented approximately
30% of our net sales, covering virtually  every Boeing plant and product. A  significant reduction in sales
to Boeing could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of  operations, and
cash flows.

15

United States and International Operations

Our revenues from continuing operations  to  customers in  the United States  for fiscal  years  2010,

2009 and 2008 were approximately $1,039  million, $974 million, and $914  million, respectively. Our
revenues from our continuing operations  to  customers  in all other countries  for fiscal years 2010, 2009
and 2008 were approximately $256 million,  $267 million, and $237 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, our long-lived assets  for  continuing  operations located  in the

United States were approximately $855 million and $851 million, respectively. As  of  March 31, 2010
and 2009, our long-lived assets for continuing  operations located in all other countries  were
approximately $74 million and $63 million,  respectively.

Competition

We  compete primarily with the top-tier systems integrators and manufacturers that supply them,

some of which are divisions or subsidiaries  of other large  companies,  in the  manufacture of aircraft
systems components and subassemblies.  OEMs are increasingly focusing  on assembly activities  while
outsourcing more manufacturing and  repair to third parties, and therefore are less of a competitive
force than in previous years.

Competition for the repair and overhaul of aviation components  comes  from  three primary

sources, some with greater financial and  other resources than we have: OEMs, major  commercial
airlines and other  independent repair and overhaul companies.  Some  major commercial airlines
continue to own and operate their own  service centers, while  others have begun to sell  or outsource
their repair and overhaul services to other aircraft operators or third parties. Large domestic and
foreign airlines that provide repair and  overhaul services typically  provide  these services  not  only  for
their own aircraft but for other airlines  as well. OEMs also maintain service centers which provide
repair and overhaul services for the components they manufacture. Other independent service
organizations also compete for the repair and overhaul  business of other users of aircraft components.

Participants in the aerospace industry compete primarily  on the basis of breadth  of  technical

capabilities, quality, turnaround time, capacity and price.

Government Regulation and Industry  Oversight

The aerospace industry is highly regulated  in the United  States by the FAA and  in other countries
by similar agencies. We must be certified by  the FAA and,  in some cases, by individual OEMs, in order
to engineer and service parts and components used in specific aircraft models. If material
authorizations or approvals were revoked or suspended,  our operations would be adversely affected.
New and more stringent government  regulations may  be  adopted, or industry  oversight heightened, in
the future and these new regulations,  if  enacted, or any industry oversight, if heightened,  may have an
adverse impact on us.

We  must also satisfy the requirements of  our customers, including OEMs,  that  are subject to FAA

regulations, and provide these customers  with  products and repair services that comply with the
government regulations applicable to  aircraft  components  used in commercial flight operations. The
FAA regulates commercial flight operations  and requires that aircraft  components meet its stringent
standards. In  addition, the FAA requires  that various maintenance  routines  be  performed  on aircraft
components, and we currently satisfy  these maintenance standards in our  repair  and overhaul services.
Several of our operating locations are  FAA-approved repair stations.

Generally, the FAA only grants licenses for the manufacture  or repair of a specific aircraft
component, rather than the broader  licenses that have  been granted  in the past. The FAA licensing
process may be costly and time-consuming. In order to obtain an  FAA license,  an applicant  must  satisfy
all applicable regulations of the FAA  governing repair stations. These regulations  require that an

16

applicant have experienced personnel, inspection systems, suitable facilities  and equipment.  In  addition,
the applicant must demonstrate a need for  the license.  Because an applicant must procure
manufacturing and repair manuals from third parties  relating to each  particular aircraft component  in
order to obtain a license with respect to that  component, the application process may involve
substantial cost.

The license approval processes for the  European Aviation Safety  Agency (EASA was  formed in
2002 and is handling most of the responsibilities of the national aviation authorities in  Europe,  such as
the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority),  which regulates this  industry in the  European Union,
the Civil Aviation Administration of  China, and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities are
similarly stringent, involving potentially lengthy  audits.

Our operations are also subject to a variety of worker and  community safety laws. For example,
the Occupational Safety and Health Act  of 1970, or OSHA, mandates general requirements  for safe
workplaces for all employees. In addition,  OSHA provides special procedures  and measures  for the
handling of hazardous and toxic substances. Specific safety  standards  have been promulgated for
workplaces engaged in the treatment,  disposal or storage  of  hazardous waste.  We believe  that  our
operations are in material compliance  with  OSHA’s  health  and safety requirements.

Environmental Matters

Our business, operations and facilities are subject to numerous  stringent federal,  state, local and

foreign environmental laws and regulation by government  agencies, including the  Environmental
Protection Agency, or the EPA. Among other  matters, these regulatory  authorities impose requirements
that regulate the emission, discharge,  generation,  management, transportation and  disposal of
hazardous materials, pollutants and contaminants, govern public and  private  response  actions to
hazardous or regulated substances which  may be or  have been  released to the  environment, and require
us to obtain and maintain licenses and permits in  connection with  our operations. This extensive
regulatory framework imposes significant  compliance burdens and  risks on us. Although  management
believes that our operations and our facilities are in material compliance  with such  laws  and
regulations, future changes in these laws, regulations or  interpretations thereof or  the nature of our
operations or regulatory enforcement  actions which may arise, may require us  to  make significant
additional capital expenditures to ensure  compliance  in the future.

Certain of our facilities, including facilities acquired and operated by us or one  of  our  subsidiaries

have at one time or another been under  active investigation for  environmental contamination by federal
or state agencies when acquired, and  at least  in some  cases,  continue to be under investigation or
subject to remediation for potential environmental contamination.  We are frequently indemnified  by
prior owners or operators and/or present  owners of the facilities for  liabilities  which we  incur  as a
result of these investigations and the environmental  contamination found which pre-dates our
acquisition of these facilities, subject to certain limitations. We  also  maintain a pollution liability policy
that provides coverage for material liabilities associated  with the clean-up of  on-site pollution
conditions, as well as defense and indemnity  for certain  third  party suits (including  Superfund liabilities
at third party sites), in each case, to the extent not otherwise indemnified. This  policy  applies to all of
our  manufacturing and assembly operations worldwide. However, if we were  required to pay  the
expenses related to environmental liabilities  for which neither indemnification nor insurance  coverage  is
available, these expenses could have a  material adverse effect on us.

Employees

As of March 31, 2010, for our continuing  operations  we employed 5,991 persons, of whom 647
were management employees, 90 were sales and marketing personnel, 697 were technical personnel,
789 were administrative personnel and  3,768 were production workers. As of March 31,  2010, for  our

17

discontinued operations, we employed 30  persons, of whom 1  was  a  management employee, 1 was a
sales and marketing employee, 4 were  technical personnel, 3  were  administrative personnel and  21 were
production workers.

Several of our subsidiaries are parties to collective bargaining agreements with labor unions. Under
those agreements, we currently employ  approximately 590  full-time employees.  Currently,  approximately
9.8% of our permanent employees are represented by labor  unions  and approximately  20.0% of net
sales are derived from the facilities at  which at least some  employees are  unionized. Our inability to
negotiate an acceptable contract with any of these labor unions could  result in  strikes by the  affected
workers and increased operating costs as a result of higher  wages or  benefits paid to union members.  If
the unionized workers were to engage  in a  strike or  other work stoppage, or other  employees were to
become  unionized, we could experience  a  significant  disruption of our operations and  higher ongoing
labor costs, which could have an adverse effect on  our  business and results  of operations.

We  have not experienced any material labor-related work stoppage and consider our relations with

our  employees to be good.

Research and Development Expenses

Certain information about our research  and  development expenses for the  fiscal  years  ended
March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 is available in Note 2 of  ‘‘Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.’’

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Factors that have an adverse impact on the aerospace  industry may adversely affect our  results of
operations and liquidity. A substantial percentage of our gross profit and operating income was derived
from commercial aviation for fiscal year 2010. Our operations are focused on designing,  engineering
and  manufacturing aircraft components for new  aircraft, selling  spare  parts  and performing repair  and
overhaul services on existing aircraft and  aircraft components. Therefore, our  business  is directly
affected by economic factors and other  trends that  affect  our customers  in the aerospace industry,
including a possible decrease in outsourcing by OEMs  and aircraft operators or projected market
growth that may not materialize or be  sustainable. We  are also significantly dependent on sales to the
commercial aerospace market, which has been cyclical in nature with significant downturns  in the past.
When these economic and other factors adversely affect  the aerospace  industry,  they tend to reduce  the
overall customer demand for our products and services, which decreases  our operating income.
Economic and other factors that might affect  the aerospace  industry may  have an  adverse  impact  on
our results of operations and liquidity. We  have credit  exposure to a  number of commercial  airlines,
some of which have encountered financial difficulties.  In addition, an increase  in energy costs and the
price of fuel to the airlines, similar to that  which occurred in 2008, could  result  in additional  pressure
on the operating costs of airlines. The  market  for jet fuel  is inherently volatile  and is subject to, among
other  things, change in government policy on jet fuel  production,  fluctuations in the  global supply  of
crude  oil and disruptions in oil production  or  delivery caused by sudden  hostility in oil producing  areas.
Often airlines are unable to pass on increases in fuel prices  to  customers by increasing fares due to the
competitive nature of the airline industry, and  this compounds the pressure on operating costs. Other
events of general impact such as terrorist attacks  against the industry or  pandemic health crises may
lead to declines in the worldwide aerospace industry that could adversely affect  our  business  and
financial condition.

In addition, demand for our MRO services is correlated with worldwide  flying  activity. A
significant portion of the MRO activity required on  commercial aircraft  is mandated by government
regulations that limit the total time or  number of  flights that  may  elapse between scheduled MRO
events. As a result, although short-term deferrals are possible, MRO activity is  ultimately  required to
continue to operate the aircraft in revenue-producing service.  Therefore, over the intermediate and
long term, trends in the MRO market are closely  related  to the size and utilization level of the
worldwide aircraft fleet, as reflected by  the number  of available seat miles, commonly  referred to as
ASMs,  flown and cargo miles flown. Consequently, conditions or events  which contribute to declines  in
worldwide ASMs and cargo miles flown, such as  those mentioned above,  could negatively impact our
MRO business.

Cancellations, reductions or delays in customer orders may adversely affect our  results  of operations.
Our overall operating results are affected  by many factors, including the timing  of  orders  from large
customers and the timing of expenditures  to  manufacture parts and purchase inventory in anticipation
of future sales of products and services. A large  portion of our  operating expenses are relatively fixed.
Because several of our operating locations typically do not obtain long-term purchase orders or

19

commitments from our customers, they  must anticipate the  future volume of orders based  upon the
historic purchasing patterns of customers  and upon  our discussions with  customers as to their
anticipated future requirements. These  historic  patterns  may  be  disrupted  by  many factors, including
changing  economic conditions, inventory  adjustments,  or work  stoppages or  labor  disruptions at our
customers. Cancellations, reductions or  delays in  orders  by a customer or group of customers could
have a material adverse effect on our  business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our acquisition strategy exposes us to risks,  including the  risk that we may not  be able to  successfully

integrate acquired businesses. We have a consistent strategy to grow, in part, by the acquisition  of
additional businesses in the aerospace  industry  and are continuously evaluating various  acquisition
opportunities, including those outside  the United States and  those that are larger than  the acquisitions
we have made previously. Our ability  to  grow by acquisition is dependent upon, among other factors,
the availability of suitable acquisition candidates. Growth by  acquisition involves risks that could
adversely affect our operating results,  including difficulties in  integrating the operations and  personnel
of acquired companies, the potential  amortization of acquired  intangible assets,  the potential
impairment of goodwill and the potential loss  of key employees of acquired companies. We may not be
able to consummate acquisitions on satisfactory terms  or, if any acquisitions  are consummated,
satisfactorily integrate these acquired businesses.

We may fail to realize all of the expected  benefits of the  proposed Vought Acquisition. The success of

the Vought Acquisition, assuming it is consummated, will depend, in part, on  our ability  to  realize the
anticipated benefits from combining the  businesses of Triumph and Vought. However, to realize these
anticipated benefits, we must successfully combine the  businesses. If  we are  not  able to achieve  these
objectives, the anticipated benefits of the  Vought Acquisition  may  not be realized fully  or at all or  may
take longer to realize than expected.

In addition, it is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the

disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses or  inconsistencies in standards, controls,  procedures
and policies that adversely affect our ability  to  maintain  relationships with customers, suppliers and
employees or to achieve the anticipated  benefits of  the Vought Acquisition. Integration efforts  between
the two companies will also divert management attention and resources and could have an  adverse
effect on each of Triumph and Vought during the  transition period.

A significant decline in business with a  key customer could have a  material adverse effect  on us. For

the year ended March 31, 2010, The  Boeing  Company, or Boeing Commercial,  Military & Space,
represented approximately 30% of net sales. Accordingly, a significant  reduction in  purchases by this
customer could have a material adverse  impact on  our  financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows. In addition, some of our operating locations  have significant  customers, the  loss of  whom could
have an adverse effect on those businesses.

Demand for our military and defense products is dependent upon government  spending.

Approximately 37% of our sales for fiscal  year 2010 were derived  from the military and defense
market, which includes primarily indirect sales to the U.S. Government.  The military and  defense
market is largely dependent upon government budgets, particularly the U.S. defense budget, and even
an increase in defense spending may not be allocated to programs that  would benefit  our  business.
Moreover, the new military aircraft programs in which we participate  may not enter full-scale
production as expected. A change in the levels  of defense spending or levels of military flight
operations could curtail or enhance our  prospects in  the military and  defense market  depending  upon
the programs affected.

Our international sales and operations  are subject to  applicable  laws  relating to trade, export controls

and foreign corrupt practices, the violation of which could adversely affect our operations. We must
comply  with all applicable export control laws and regulations of the United States and  other countries.
United States laws and regulations applicable to us  include  the Arms  Export Control Act, the

20

International Traffic in Arms Regulations (‘‘ITAR’’), the Export Administration Regulations (‘‘EAR’’)
and the trade sanctions laws and regulations administered  by  the United States  Department  of
Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control  (‘‘OFAC’’). EAR restricts the  export of  dual-use products
and technical data to certain countries, while ITAR restricts  the export of defense products, technical
data and defense services. The U.S. government agencies responsible  for administering  EAR and ITAR
have significant discretion in the interpretation and enforcement  of  these  regulations. We also cannot
provide services to certain countries subject to United States  trade sanctions  unless we first obtain the
necessary authorizations from OFAC. In  addition, we  are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices  Act
which,  generally, bars bribes or unreasonable gifts to foreign governments or  officials.

Violations of these laws or regulations could result in  significant additional sanctions  including
fines, more onerous compliance requirements,  more  extensive debarments from  export privileges, loss
of authorizations needed to conduct  aspects of our international business  and criminal penalties and
may harm our ability to enter into contracts with the  U.S.  government. A  future violation of ITAR or
the other regulations enumerated above could materially adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

Our expansion into international markets may  increase  credit, currency and other  risks, and our  current

operations in international markets expose  us  to such risks. As we pursue customers in Asia, South
America and other less developed aerospace markets throughout  the world, our inability to ensure the
creditworthiness of our customers in these  areas could adversely impact our overall profitability. In
addition, with our operations in the United Kingdom, Germany, Mexico, and Thailand  and as we seek
customers in other parts of the world, we will  be  subject to the legal, political, social and regulatory
requirements and economic conditions  of  other jurisdictions. In  the future,  we may also make
additional international capital investments, including further acquisitions of companies outside the
United States or companies having operations outside  the United  States. Risks inherent to international
operations include, but are not limited to, the following:

(cid:127) difficulty in enforcing agreements in some legal  systems outside the  United States;

(cid:127) countries may impose additional withholding taxes or  otherwise  tax our foreign income, impose
tariffs or adopt other restrictions on foreign trade  and  investment, including  currency  exchange
controls;

(cid:127) fluctuations in exchange rates may affect demand for our products  and  services  and may

adversely affect our profitability in U.S. dollars;

(cid:127) inability to obtain, maintain or enforce intellectual property  rights;

(cid:127) changes in general economic and political conditions in the countries in  which we operate;

(cid:127) unexpected adverse changes in the laws or regulatory requirements outside  the U.S.,  including

those with respect to environmental protection, export duties  and  quotas;

(cid:127) failure by our employees or agents  to comply with U.S.  laws  affecting the  activities of U.S.

companies abroad;

(cid:127) difficulty with staffing and managing widespread operations;  and

(cid:127) difficulty of and costs relating to compliance with the different commercial and legal

requirements of the countries in which we operate.

We may need additional financing for  acquisitions  and capital expenditures and additional  financing

may not be available on terms acceptable to us. A key element of our strategy has been,  and continues
to be, internal growth supplemented  by growth through the acquisition of  additional aerospace
companies and product lines. In order  to  grow internally, we may need to make significant  capital
expenditures, such as investing in facilities in low  cost  countries, and may need additional capital  to  do
so. Our ability to grow is dependent upon, and may be limited by, among other things, access to
markets and conditions of markets, availability  under our credit  facility and  by  particular restrictions

21

contained in our credit facility and our  other financing arrangements.  In that case, additional  funding
sources  may be needed, and we may  not  be able to obtain the additional capital necessary to pursue
our  internal growth and acquisition strategy or,  if we can obtain additional financing, the additional
financing may not be on financial terms that  are satisfactory to us, particularly in light of the current
instability in the credit markets.

Competitive pressures may adversely affect us. We have numerous competitors in the aerospace
industry. We compete primarily with the  top-tier systems  integrators and the  manufacturers  that  supply
them, some of which are divisions or  subsidiaries of OEMs and other large companies that
manufacture aircraft components and subassemblies. Our OEM  competitors, which include Boeing,
Airbus, Bell Helicopter, Cessna, Gulfstream,  Sikorsky, Lockheed Martin, Northrop  Grumman,
Raytheon and Honeywell may choose  not to outsource production of aerostructures or other
components due to, among other things,  their own direct labor and overhead considerations, capacity
utilization at their own facilities and  desire to retain critical or  core skills. Consequently,  traditional
factors affecting competition, such as  price and quality of service, may not be significant determinants
when OEMs decide whether to produce  a part  in-house  or to outsource.  We also face  competition from
non-OEM component manufacturers including, Alenia Aeronautica, Fuji Heavy Industries, GKN
Westland Aerospace (U.K.), Goodrich  Corp., Kawasaki Heavy  Industries, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries,
Spirit AeroSystems and Stork Aerospace. Competition  for the repair and overhaul of aviation
components comes from three primary  sources:  OEMs,  major commercial airlines and  other
independent repair and overhaul companies. Some of  our competitors have substantially greater
financial and other resources than we  have. Competitive pressures  may materially adversely affect our
operating revenues and margins, and,  in turn, our  business and financial condition.

We may need to expend significant capital to keep  pace with technological developments  in  our

industry. The aerospace industry is constantly undergoing development and change and  it is likely  that
new products, equipment and methods of repair  and overhaul  service will be introduced in the future.
In order to keep pace with any new  developments, we  may  need to expend significant capital to
purchase new equipment and machines  or to train  our employees in the  new methods of production
and service.

The construction of aircraft is heavily regulated, and we  may incur significant expenses to comply with

new or more stringent governmental regulation. The aerospace industry is highly regulated  in the United
States by the FAA and in other countries  by similar agencies. We must be certified  by  the FAA and, in
some cases, by individual OEMs in order to engineer and service parts and components used in  specific
aircraft models. If any of our material  authorizations  or approvals were revoked or suspended, our
operations would be adversely affected. New or more stringent governmental regulations may be
adopted, or industry oversight heightened  in the future, and we may incur  significant expenses to
comply  with any new regulations or any heightened industry oversight.

Some contractual arrangements with our  customers may  cause us to bear significant up-front costs that

we may not be able to recover. Many new aircraft programs require that  major suppliers bear the cost
of design, development and engineering work associated  with  the development of the  aircraft usually in
exchange for  a long-term agreement to supply critical parts once the aircraft is in  production. If the
aircraft fails to reach the full production  stage or we fail to win the long-term contract, the outlays we
have made in research and development and other start-up costs may  not  generate our anticipated
return  on investment.

We may not realize our anticipated return on capital  commitments made to expand our capabilities.

We  continually make significant capital expenditures to implement  new processes and to increase both
efficiency and capacity. Some of these  projects  require additional training for  our employees and not all
projects may be implemented as anticipated. If any of these projects do not achieve the anticipated
increase in efficiency or capacity, our  returns on these capital expenditures  may be lower than expected.

22

Any product liability claims in excess of insurance may  adversely affect our  financial  condition. Our

operations expose us to potential liability  for personal injury or  death as  a result of the  failure of an
aircraft component that has been serviced by us or the  failure of an aircraft  component  designed or
manufactured by us. While we believe  that our  liability  insurance is adequate to protect  us  from these
liabilities, our insurance may not cover  all liabilities. Additionally,  as the number of insurance
companies providing general aviation  product  liability  coverage has decreased in  recent years, insurance
coverage may not  be available in the  future at a cost acceptable  to  us. Any material liability not
covered by insurance or for which third  party indemnification is not  available  could  have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition.

The lack of available skilled personnel  may  have an adverse  effect on our operations. From time to

time, some of our operating locations have experienced difficulties in attracting and  retaining skilled
personnel to design, engineer, manufacture, repair  and overhaul sophisticated  aircraft components. Our
ability to operate successfully could be jeopardized  if  we are  unable  to  attract  and retain a sufficient
number of skilled personnel to conduct  our business.

Any exposure to environmental liabilities may  adversely affect us. Our business, operations and
facilities are subject to numerous stringent  federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and
regulations and we are subject to potentially significant fines and penalties, including criminal  sanctions
if we fail to comply with these requirements. Although management  believes that our operations and
facilities are in material compliance with  such laws and regulations, future changes  in such  laws,
regulations or interpretations thereof  or the nature  of  our  operations or regulatory  enforcement actions
which  may arise, may require us to make significant additional capital expenditures to ensure
compliance in the future. Certain of our  facilities, including facilities acquired and  operated by us or
one of our subsidiaries have at one time or another been under active  investigation for  environmental
contamination by federal or state agencies  when acquired and,  at  least  in some cases, continue  to  be
under investigation or subject to remediation for potential environmental  contamination. Individual
facilities of ours have also been subject  to  investigation on occasion for possible past waste disposal
practices which might have contributed to contamination  at or  from  remote waste disposal  sites. We are
frequently indemnified by prior owners or  operators and/or present owners of the  facilities  for liabilities
which  we incur as a result of these investigations and the environmental contamination found which
pre-dates our acquisition of these facilities,  subject to certain limitations,  including but not limited to
limitations on the survival period of the  indemnity.  We also  maintain  a  pollution liability policy that
provides coverage for material liabilities  associated with the clean-up of on-site  pollution conditions, as
well as defense and indemnity for certain third party suits  (including Superfund  liabilities at third party
sites), in each case, to the extent not otherwise indemnified. This  policy applies to all of  our
manufacturing and assembly operations  worldwide. However, if we were  required to pay  the expenses
related to environmental liabilities for  which neither  indemnification nor  insurance coverage is
available, these expenses could have a  material adverse effect on our financial  position,  results of
operations, and cash flows.

We are currently involved in intellectual property litigation, which could have a material and  adverse

impact on our profitability, and we could  become so  involved again in  the future. We and other
companies in our industry possess certain proprietary rights relating to designs, engineering,
manufacturing processes and repair and  overhaul procedures. In  the event that we believe that a  third
party is infringing upon our proprietary  rights, we  may bring an action to enforce such rights. In
addition, third parties may claim infringement  by  us  with respect to their proprietary rights and  may
initiate legal proceedings against us in  the future.  The expense  and time of bringing an action  to
enforce such rights or defending against  infringement claims  can be significant,  as in the  case of the
litigation arising out of the claims of Eaton Corporation discussed in  ‘‘Item 3. Legal Proceedings.’’ The
expense and time associated with such  litigation may have a  material and adverse impact on our
profitability. In addition, in our overhaul and repair  businesses,  OEMs of  equipment that we  maintain
for our  customers increasingly include  language in repair manuals relating to their equipment asserting

23

broad claims of proprietary rights to  the contents of the manuals used in  our  operations. There  can be
no assurance that OEMs will not try to enforce  such claims, including through the  possible use of legal
proceedings, or that any such actions will be unsuccessful.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

On July 9, 2004, Eaton Corporation  and  several Eaton subsidiaries filed a complaint  against us,

our  subsidiary, Frisby Aerospace, LLC (now  named Triumph  Actuation Systems, LLC),  certain related
subsidiaries and certain employees of  ours  and  our subsidiaries. The complaint was filed in the  Circuit
Court of the First  Judicial District of  Hinds County,  Mississippi  and  alleged nineteen causes of action
under Mississippi law. In particular, the complaint alleged the misappropriation of  trade secrets and
intellectual property allegedly belonging to Eaton relating  to hydraulic pumps and motors  used  in
military and commercial aviation. Triumph Actuation Systems and the individual  defendants filed
separate responses to Eaton’s claims. Triumph Actuation Systems filed  counterclaims against Eaton
alleging  common law unfair competition, interference  with  existing and prospective  contracts, abuse of
process, defamation, violation of North Carolina’s Unfair  and Deceptive  Trade Practices Act, and
violation of the false advertising provisions of the  Lanham Act.  We and defendant  Jeff Frisby, President
of Triumph Actuation Systems at the time the engineer defendants were hired,  moved to dismiss the
complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction.

The above allegations also relate to alleged conduct that has been the subject of an  investigation
by the office of the U.S. Attorney in Jackson, Mississippi. On  January 22, 2004,  a search warrant was
executed on the offices of Triumph Actuation Systems  in connection with this  investigation. Triumph
Actuation Systems cooperated with the  investigation. On  December 20,  2006, five  engineers of Triumph
Actuation Systems who are former employees  of  Eaton Aerospace, LLC,  were  indicted by a grand jury
sitting in the Southern District of Mississippi on five counts of trade secret misappropriation,  conspiracy
to misappropriate trade secrets, and  mail and wire  fraud. On June 15, 2007,  all  counts other than  part
of one count were dismissed by the court, leaving a charge of conspiracy to misappropriate  trade
secrets.

On October 11, 2007, the government obtained a new indictment  against the  same five engineer
defendants raising new charges arising  out of the same investigation,  which were essentially reiterated
in a second superseding indictment obtained  on November 7,  2007. The defendant  engineers
subsequently filed pretrial motions, including motions to dismiss.  On April  25, 2008, the  court granted

25

some of those motions and dismissed seven of the twelve counts of the second superseding indictment.
The government appealed the dismissal  with respect to three  of the seven counts dismissed. On
January 21, 2009, while the appeal was still  pending,  the government  obtained  a new indictment against
the five engineers containing three counts stating essentially the same  charges as  those covered by the
government’s appeal. On February 9,  2009, the  United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth  Circuit
unanimously affirmed the dismissal of one of the counts covered by the government’s appeal  and
reversed as to the other two counts. (The  government thereafter dismissed the  two counts of  the most
recent indictment similar to the two counts restored by the appellate court.)  On September  10, 2009,
upon agreement of the government and  the defendant engineers, the trial court entered an  order
continuing the case until after the trial in the civil case  filed by Eaton and staying all proceedings
except the issuance of orders related to previously filed motions and the parties’ compliance with
ongoing discovery obligations. The trial  court  has since  disposed of all  pending motions.

No charges have been brought against Triumph Actuation Systems or us,  and we understand that

neither Triumph Actuation Systems nor  the  Company is currently  the  subject of the criminal
investigation.

In the civil case, following stays of most discovery while  the parties litigated a motion to dismiss

and a motion to protect the defendant engineers’ Fifth Amendment  rights, discovery recommenced in
late August 2007. However, on January 4,  2008, the judge in  the civil case, Judge  Bobby DeLaughter,
recused himself on his own motion. The  case was reassigned to Chief Judge W. Swan  Yerger.

On January 24, 2008, Triumph Actuation Systems  filed a  motion to stay all  discovery in  order  to
review and reconsider Judge DeLaughter’s prior orders based on the ongoing federal investigation of
an alleged ex parte and inappropriate relationship between Judge DeLaughter and  Ed Peters,  a lawyer
representing Eaton for whom Judge DeLaughter  had worked prior to his appointment to the  bench.
Judge DeLaughter was thereafter suspended from the  bench and indicted by a  federal grand  jury  sitting
in the Northern District of Mississippi.  On July 30, 2009, Judge DeLaughter pled  guilty to a  count  of
obstruction of justice contained in the  indictment  and, on November 13, 2009, was sentenced  to
18 months in federal prison.

Triumph Actuation Systems filed other motions relating to this alleged inappropriate relationship

with Mr. Peters, including a motion for  sanctions.  Judge Yerger ordered that this conduct be examined
and has undertaken, along with a newly  appointed Special Master, to review Judge  DeLaughter’s
rulings in the case from the time Mr.  Peters became involved. That review is ongoing. The court  has
stayed all other proceedings while conducting its review of the conduct of Mr. Peters, with the
exception of the period between October  30, 2008  and March  4, 2009 when discovery on  the merits was
briefly reopened. The case has been  removed from the  court’s trial  calendar  for the  date previously set,
and no alternative date has been assigned.

It  is too early to determine what, if any, exposure to liability Triumph Actuation Systems or the

Company might face as a result of the  civil suit. We intend to continue to vigorously defend the
allegations contained in Eaton’s complaint and to vigorously prosecute the counterclaims brought by
Triumph Actuation Systems.

In the ordinary course of our business, we are also involved  in disputes, claims, lawsuits, and

governmental and regulatory inquiries  that we  deem to be immaterial.  Some may  involve  claims or
potential claims of substantial damages, fines or penalties. While we cannot predict  the outcome of any
pending or future litigation or proceeding,  we do not believe that  any pending matter will have a
material effect, individually or in the  aggregate, on our financial position or  results of operations,
although no assurances can be given to  that effect.

Dividend Policy

During  fiscal 2010 and 2009, we paid cash dividends of $0.16  per  share and $0.16 per share,
respectively. However, our declaration and payment of cash dividends in the  future and the amount
thereof will depend upon our results of  operations, financial condition, cash requirements,  future
prospects, limitations imposed by credit agreements  or indentures  governing debt securities  and other
factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. No assurance can  be  given that cash  dividends  will
continue to be declared and paid at historical levels or at all.  Certain of our debt arrangements,
including our credit facility, restrict our paying  dividends and making  distributions on  our  capital stock,
except for the payment of stock dividends and redemptions of an employee’s shares of capital stock
upon termination of employment. On April 26,  2010, the Company announced that its Board  of
Directors declared a regular quarterly  dividend of  $0.04 per share  on its outstanding  common stock.
The dividend is payable June 15, 2010 to shareholders  of record as of May  28, 2010. 

Repurchases of Stock

The following summarizes repurchases  made pursuant  to  the Company’s share repurchase plan
during three years ended March 31,  2010. In  December 1998, we announced a program to repurchase
up to 500,000 shares of our common  stock.  In  February 2008, the Company’s Board of  Directors
authorized an increase in the Company’s existing stock repurchase program by up  to  an additional
500,000 shares of its common stock. From the inception of the program through March  31, 2010, we
have repurchased a total of 499,200 shares for a  total  purchase price of  $19.2 million.  As a  result, as of
May 10, 2010, the Company remains able  to  purchase an additional  500,800 shares. Repurchases may
be made from time to time in open market transactions,  block purchases,  privately  negotiated

27

transactions or otherwise at prevailing  prices. No time limit has  been set for completion of the
program.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and  Analysis  of Financial  Condition and  Results  of Operations

(The following discussion should be read  in conjunction  with the Consolidated Financial

Statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere  herein.)

OVERVIEW

We  are a major supplier to the aerospace industry and have two  operating segments: (i) Triumph

Aerospace Systems Group, whose companies design, engineer,  manufacture and sell a wide range  of
proprietary and build-to-print components, assemblies and systems for the  global aerospace OEM
market; and (ii) Triumph Aftermarket Services Group, whose  companies serve aircraft  fleets, notably
commercial airlines, the U.S. military and cargo  carriers, through the  maintenance, repair  and overhaul
of aircraft components and accessories manufactured by  third  parties.

In March 2010, we entered into definitive agreement to purchase Vought. Vought is  a leading

global  manufacturer of aerostructures for  commercial, military  and  business jet aircraft. Products
include fuselages, wings, empennages, nacelles and helicopter cabins. Vought’s customer base is
comprised of the leading global aerospace OEMs and over 80% of their revenue is  from sole source,
long-term contracts. Vought’s revenues  for the year ended  December  31, 2009 were $1.9 billion and
they employed approximately 5,900 people.

Financial highlights for the fiscal year ended  March 31, 2010 include:

(cid:127) Net sales for fiscal 2010 increased  4.4% to $1.29  billion.

(cid:127) Operating income in fiscal 2010 increased 2.2% to $155.3 million.

(cid:127) Net income for fiscal 2010 decreased 23.0%  to  $67.8 million.

(cid:127) Backlog decreased 1.0% over the prior year to $1.3  billion.

For the fiscal year ended March 31,  2010, net  sales  totaled $1.29 billion,  a 4.4% increase  from

fiscal year 2009 net sales of $1.24 billion. Net  income for  fiscal  year 2010 decreased 23.0% to
$67.8 million, or $4.07 per diluted common share, versus $88.0 million, or $5.30  per  diluted common
share, for fiscal year 2009. As discussed in  further detail below under ‘‘Results of Operations,’’ the
decrease in net income is attributable to the  write-down  of the carrying  value of our discontinued
operation to estimated fair value less cost  to sell, as well  as the additional interest expense  associated
with the issuance of Senior Notes due 2017 in November 2009,  offset by the contribution  from recent
acquisitions.

Our working capital needs are generally funded through cash flows from operations and
borrowings under our credit arrangements. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010,  we generated
approximately $169.6 million of cash flows  from operating activities, used approximately $62.5 million
in investing activities and generated approximately  $35.3 million  in financing activities.

We  continue to remain focused on growing  our core businesses as well as growing through

strategic acquisitions. Our organic sales  declined in  fiscal  2010 due to major  program delays, the
dramatic decline in the regional and business jet markets due  to  the  overall  economy, lower passenger
and freight traffic and airline inventory de-stocking. Our  Company has  an aggressive  but selective
acquisition approach that adds capabilities and increases  our capacity  for strong  and consistent internal
growth.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, we acquired Fabritech, Inc. (now Triumph Fabrications—
St. Louis) and DCL Avionics, Inc. (now  part  of  Triumph Instruments—Burbank), collectively, the
‘‘fiscal 2010 acquisitions.’’ The results of Triumph  Fabrications—St. Louis are  included in  the
Company’s Aftermarket Services Segment from  the date  of  acquisition.

30

In March 2009, we acquired Merritt Tool Company, Inc. (now Triumph Structures—East Texas),

Saygrove Defence & Aerospace Group Limited (now Triumph Actuation  & Motion Control Systems—
UK), the aviation segment of Kongsberg  Automotive Holdings ASA (now Triumph  Controls—U.K and
Triumph Controls—Germany) and The  Mexmil Company,  LLC (now Triumph  Insulation  Systems),
collectively, the ‘‘fiscal 2009 acquisitions.’’ The results for  the fiscal 2009  acquisitions  are included  in
the Company’s Aerospace Systems Segment.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following includes a discussion of our consolidated and business segment  results of operations.

The Company’s diverse structure and customer base do  not  provide for precise comparisons of the
impact of price and volume changes to our results. However,  we have disclosed the significant variances
between the respective periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We  prepare and publicly release quarterly unaudited  financial statements  prepared  in accordance
with GAAP. In accordance with recent Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘SEC’’)  guidance on
Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, we also  disclose and discuss certain non-GAAP financial
measures in our public releases. Currently,  the non-GAAP  financial measure that we disclose  is
EBITDA, which is our income from  continuing operations  before interest,  income  taxes, depreciation
and amortization. We disclose EBITDA  on a consolidated  and  an  operating segment  basis in  our
earnings releases, investor conference  calls and filings with the  SEC. The non-GAAP financial  measures
that we use may not be comparable to  similarly  titled  measures  reported  by other companies.  Also, in
the future, we may disclose different non-GAAP financial measures  in order to help our investors more
meaningfully evaluate and compare our  future results of operations  to  our  previously  reported results
of operations.

We  view EBITDA as an operating performance measure and as  such we believe that the GAAP
financial measure most directly comparable to it is income from continuing operations. In  calculating
EBITDA, we exclude from income from continuing operations  the  financial items  that  we believe
should be separately identified to provide additional  analysis of  the  financial components of the
day-to-day operation of our business.  We have  outlined below the type and scope of these exclusions
and the material limitations on the use  of  these non-GAAP financial measures as  a result of  these
exclusions. EBITDA is not a measurement  of  financial performance  under GAAP  and should not be
considered as a measure of liquidity, as an alternative to net  income (loss), income from  continuing
operations, or as an indicator of any other measure  of  performance derived in accordance with GAAP.
Investors and potential investors in our securities should  not  rely on EBITDA as  a substitute  for any
GAAP financial measure, including net  income (loss) or income  from continuing operations. In
addition, we urge investors and potential  investors in  our  securities to carefully review  the
reconciliation of EBITDA to income from  continuing  operations set forth below, in our earnings
releases and in other filings with the  SEC  and  to  carefully  review the GAAP financial information
included as part of our Quarterly Reports on  Form 10-Q and our Annual Reports on Form 10-K that
are filed with the SEC, as well as our quarterly  earnings releases, and  compare the  GAAP financial
information with our EBITDA.

EBITDA is used by management to internally measure  our operating and management

performance and by investors as a supplemental financial measure to evaluate the performance of our
business that, when viewed with our  GAAP results  and  the accompanying reconciliation, we believe
provides additional information that is useful  to  gain an understanding of the factors and  trends
affecting our business. We have spent  more than  15 years expanding our product and service
capabilities partially through acquisitions of complementary businesses. Due to the expansion of our
operations, which included acquisitions, our income  from continuing operations has included significant

31

charges for depreciation and amortization. EBITDA excludes these charges and provides meaningful
information about the operating performance of our business, apart  from charges for  depreciation  and
amortization. We believe the disclosure  of  EBITDA helps  investors  meaningfully evaluate  and compare
our  performance from quarter to quarter and from year to  year. We  also believe EBITDA is  a measure
of our ongoing operating performance because the isolation of non-cash charges, such as depreciation
and amortization, and non-operating  items, such as  interest  and  income  taxes, provides additional
information about our cost structure, and, over  time, helps track  our operating progress. In addition,
investors, securities analysts and others have  regularly  relied on  EBITDA to provide  a financial
measure by which to compare our operating performance  against  that of  other companies in  our
industry.

Set forth below are descriptions of the financial items that have  been excluded  from our  income
from continuing operations to calculate  EBITDA  and the  material  limitations associated with using this
non-GAAP financial measure as compared to income from  continuing  operations:

(cid:127) Amortization expense may be useful  for investors to consider because it represents  the estimated
attrition of our acquired customer base and the diminishing value of  product rights and licenses.
We  do not believe these charges necessarily reflect the  current and ongoing cash charges  related
to our operating cost structure.

(cid:127) Depreciation may be useful for investors to consider  because it generally represents  the wear
and tear on our property and equipment used in our operations. We do not believe these
charges necessarily reflect the current  and ongoing cash charges related  to  our  operating cost
structure.

(cid:127) The amount of interest expense and other  we incur may be useful for investors to consider  and
may result in current cash inflows or outflows. However, we do  not consider the amount of
interest expense and other to be a representative component of the day-to-day  operating
performance of our business.

(cid:127) Income tax expense may be useful for investors to consider because it generally represents the
taxes which may be payable for the period and the change  in deferred income  taxes during the
period and may reduce the amount of funds otherwise available for use  in our business.
However, we do not consider the amount of income tax expense to be a representative
component of the day-to-day operating performance  of our business.

Management compensates for the above-described limitations of using non-GAAP measures by

using a non-GAAP measure only to supplement  our  GAAP results and to provide additional
information that is useful to gain an  understanding of the  factors and trends  affecting our business.

Net sales increased by $54.4 million, or 4.4%, to $1.29 billion for the fiscal  year ended March 31,

2010 from $1.24 billion for the fiscal  year  ended March 31,  2009. The fiscal 2010  acquisitions and  fiscal
2009 acquisitions contributed $123.3  million in net  sales. Organic sales declined  $68.9 million, or 5.6%,
which  was negatively impacted by major program  delays, the decline in  the regional jet market due to
the overall economy, lower passenger and freight traffic and airline inventory de-stocking. Prior year
sales were negatively impacted by the Boeing strike.

Cost of sales increased by $49.5 million, or 5.6%, to $927.2 million for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2010 from $877.7 million for  the fiscal year ended March 31,  2009. This increase includes
the acquisitions noted above, which contributed $92.0 million. Excluding  the effects of these
acquisitions, gross margin was 28.7% for  the fiscal year ended  March 31,  2010, compared with 29.2%
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Segment operating income increased  by $2.7  million, or  1.5%,  to  $181.6 million for  the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2010 from $178.9 million for the fiscal  year ended March  31, 2009. Operating  income
growth was a direct result of margins  attained on  increased sales  as described above, and decreases  in
litigation costs ($0.9 million) and bad debt expense  ($1.6  million), partially  offset by increases  in
depreciation and amortization ($5.8 million)  primarily from the  fiscal  2009 acquisitions.

Corporate expenses decreased by $0.7 million,  or 2.5%, to $26.3 million for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2010 from $27.0 million for  the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, primarily due to decreased
healthcare and workers’ compensation  costs ($0.8 million), consulting expenses ($1.6 million) and
computer services costs ($1.0 million),  partially offset by increases in acquisition-related costs
($1.6 million). In addition, we have recognized expenses of approximately $4.1  million  start-up costs
related to the Mexican facility, predominately  recorded within corporate expenses.

Interest expense and other increased by $11.9 million, or 70.5%, to $28.9  million for the fiscal  year

ended March 31, 2010 compared to $16.9 million for the prior  year. During fiscal 2010, the Company
issued $175.0 million in principal amount of 8% Senior  Notes due  2017, resulting in additional interest
expense of approximately $5.3 million. The initial interest  payment  on this debt is due May 15,  2010.
Fiscal 2010 also included full-year interest  expense on our equipment  leasing facility representing an
additional $4.0 million from fiscal 2009. During fiscal 2009, the Company entered into certain foreign
currency derivative instruments that did  not meet hedge accounting criteria and  primarily were
intended to protect against exposure  related to fiscal 2009 acquisitions.  These instruments resulted in a
gain of $1.4 million in fiscal 2009, which is included  in interest expense  and  other. Also  during  fiscal
2009, the Company paid $15.4 million  to  purchase  $18.0 million of principal  on the  convertible senior

33

subordinated notes, resulting in a gain  on early extinguishment  of  $0.9 million. Included in  interest
expense and other is noncash interest  expense of $8.1 million  and $7.9  million  for the  fiscal years
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, of which  $6.1 million and $5.8 million, respectively,
reflect accretion of interest recognized in  accordance with the convertible debt  accounting standard.

The effective tax rate was 32.6% for the fiscal year  ended March 31,  2010 and 31.8% for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2009. The increase in the tax rate was primarily due to the lapse of  the research
and experimentation tax credit as of  January  1, 2010.

Loss from discontinued operations before income taxes was $26.9 million  for the  fiscal year  ended

March 31, 2010, which included impairment charges of $19.9  million,  compared with  a loss  from
discontinued operations before income  taxes  of  $7.3 million for the fiscal year ended  March 31, 2009.
Due to failed negotiations with certain  potential buyers of  the  business  occurring during the quarter
ended December 31, 2009, the Company reassessed its estimated fair  value  of  the business based on
current viable offers to purchase the  business,  recent  performance results and  overall  market
conditions, resulting in a write-down,  which  was applied to  accounts receivable,  inventory  and property,
plant and equipment. The Company  recognized a pre-tax  loss of $17.4  million  in the third quarter of
fiscal 2010, based on the write-down  of  the carrying value of the business  to  estimated fair value less
cost to sell. Included in the loss from  discontinued operations for  the fiscal year ended  March 31, 2010
is an additional impairment charge of $2.5  million  recorded during the first quarter of fiscal  2010. The
income tax benefit for discontinued operations was $9.4 million  for  the fiscal year ended March  31,
2010 compared to a benefit of $2.6 million  for  the prior year.

Net sales increased by $89.3 million, or 7.8%, to $1.24 billion for the fiscal  year ended March 31,
2009 from $1.15 billion for the fiscal  year  ended March 31,  2008. The fiscal 2009  acquisitions and  the
fiscal 2008 acquisition of B. & R. Machine  & Tool Corp. (now  Triumph  Structures—Long Island)
together contributed $37.0 million. Excluding the effects  of  this acquisition, organic sales growth was
$52.3 million, or 4.5%, which was negatively impacted  by  the Boeing strike  and major program  delays
(particularly in the 787 and 747-8 programs), partially offset by  a favorable settlement of  a retroactive
pricing agreement.

The Aerospace Systems segment benefited primarily from increased  sales to our OEM  customers

driven by increased military aircraft build  rates, while the increase in sales for our  Aftermarket  Services
segment was the result of increased demand for our services due to growth in global air traffic.

March 31, 2009 from $822.3 million for  the fiscal year  ended March 31,  2008. This increase includes
the acquisitions noted above, which contributed  $17.9 million. Excluding  the effects of these
acquisitions, gross margin was 28.6% for  the fiscal  year ended  March 31,  2009, compared with 28.4%
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. Despite having consistent consolidated gross  margin, the
gross  margin for our Aerospace Systems  segment was favorably impacted  by  contribution from the
acquisition of B. & R. Machine & Tool Company  and  the favorable settlement of a retroactive pricing
agreement, whereas the gross margin  for our Aftermarket Services segment was negatively impacted by
charges due to contract terminations ($1.3 million) and  changes in  estimate under  power-by-the-hour
contracts ($1.1 million) as well as losses at our Phoenix APU facility due to cost  overruns and excess
overhead ($4.8 million) and higher than  expected warranty expenses ($0.6 million).

Segment operating income increased  by  $30.5 million, or 20.6%,  to  $178.9 million for  the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2009 from $148.3  million  for the  fiscal  year ended March 31,  2008. Operating
income growth was a direct result of  margins attained on increased sales as described above,  the
contribution of $13.8 million from the  above-mentioned acquisitions, and decreases  in litigation costs
($3.7 million) and incentive compensation ($1.3 million), partially offset by increases in payroll
($2.4 million) and depreciation and amortization expenses  ($1.1 million) associated  with our
acquisitions.

Corporate expenses increased by $5.0 million, or 22.8%, to $27.0 million for the fiscal year ended

March 31, 2009 from $22.0 million for  the  fiscal  year  ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to increased
healthcare ($3.0 million), stock compensation costs ($0.6  million) and the write-off  of acquisition costs
on a potential acquisition that was not  consummated ($0.5 million), partially offset by decreases  in
litigation costs ($1.8 million).

Interest expense and other decreased by $3.0 million, or  15.1%, to $16.9 million for the fiscal year

ended March 31, 2009 compared to $19.9 million for  the prior  year. During fiscal 2009, the Company
entered into certain foreign currency derivative instruments  that did not meet hedge accounting criteria
and primarily were intended to protect against exposure related to fiscal 2009  acquisitions. These
instruments resulted in a gain of $1.4 million in  fiscal  2009, which  is included in interest expense and
other. In addition to this gain, the decrease in interest expense was  impacted  by  declining interest rates.
Also during fiscal 2009, the Company  paid $15.4 million to purchase $18.0 million of principal  on the
convertible senior subordinated notes, resulting in  a gain on early extinguishment of $0.9  million.
Included in interest expense and other is  non-cash interest  expense of $7.9 million  and $8.1 million  for
the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009  and 2008,  respectively, of which $5.8  million and $6.5  million,
respectively, reflect accretion of interest  recognized in  accordance with  the convertible debt accounting
standard.

The effective tax rate was 31.8% for the fiscal year  ended March 31,  2009 and 32.9% for the fiscal

year ended March 31, 2008. The decrease  in the tax rate was primarily due to the retroactive
reinstatement of the research and experimentation tax credit  back  to  January 1,  2008.

Loss from discontinued operations before income taxes was $7.3 million  for the  fiscal year  ended

March 31, 2009, compared with a loss  from discontinued  operations  before income taxes  of
$13.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008,  which included an impairment  charge of
$4.0 million. The income tax benefit  for discontinued operations was  $2.6 million for  the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2009 compared to a benefit of $4.6 million  for  the prior year.

Business  Segment Performance

We  are a major supplier to the aerospace industry and have two  operating segments: (i) Triumph

Aerospace Systems Group and (ii) Triumph Aftermarket  Services Group. Our Aerospace Systems
segment includes 39 operating locations,  and  the Aftermarket Services  segment includes 15  operating

35

locations at March 31, 2010. The results of operations between our operating  segments vary due to
differences in competitors, customers, extent of proprietary deliverables  and performance. For example,
our  Aerospace Systems segment generally  includes proprietary products and/or arrangements  where we
become  the primary source or one of  a  few  primary  sources  to  our customers, where our unique
manufacturing capabilities command  a  higher margin. Also, OEMs  are  increasingly focusing on
assembly activities while outsourcing more  manufacturing  and  repair to third parties, and as a  result,
are less of a competitive force than in  previous years. In contrast, our Aftermarket Services segment
provides MRO services on components  and accessories  manufactured by  third parties,  with more
diverse competition, including airlines, OEMs and other third-party  service providers. In  addition,
variability in the timing and extent of  customer requests performed  in the  Aftermarket  Services
segment can provide for greater volatility  and  less predictability in  revenue and earnings  than that
experienced in the Aerospace Systems segment.

The Aerospace Systems segment consists of the Company’s  operations which manufacture products

primarily for the aerospace OEM market.  The Aerospace Systems segment’s operations design  and
engineer mechanical and electromechanical controls,  such as hydraulic systems  and components,  main
engine gearbox assemblies, accumulators  and  mechanical control cables.  The Aerospace Systems
segment’s revenues are also derived from  stretch forming,  die forming, milling, bonding, machining,
welding and assembly and fabrication  of  various structural components used in  aircraft wings,  fuselages
and other significant assemblies. Further,  the segment’s operations also design and manufacture
composite assemblies for floor panels, environmental control system  ducts, non-structural cockpit
components and thermal acoustic insulation systems. These  products are sold to various  aerospace
OEMs on a global basis.

The Aftermarket Services segment consists of  the Company’s operations that provide  maintenance,

repair and overhaul services to both  commercial and military markets on components and accessories
manufactured by third parties. Maintenance, repair  and overhaul revenues are  derived from services on
auxiliary power units, airframe and engine accessories,  including constant-speed drives,  cabin
compressors, starters and generators,  and  pneumatic drive units. In addition, the Aftermarket Services
segment’s operations repair and overhaul thrust  reversers, nacelle components and  flight control
surfaces. The Aftermarket Services segment’s operations  also perform repair  and overhaul services and
supply spare parts for various types of cockpit  instruments and  gauges  for a broad range  of  commercial
airlines on a worldwide basis.

We  currently generate a majority of our  revenue from  clients  in the commercial aerospace

industry, the military, the business jet  and  the  regional airline  industry.  Our growth  and financial results
are largely dependent on continued demand for our products  and services  from clients  in these
industries. If any of these industries experiences  a downturn, our  clients in these sectors may conduct
less  business with us. The following table  summarizes our net sales by end  market by business segment.

The decline in our percentage of net sales to the Business jet and Regional jet markets is  due  to

the overall economic conditions and  the Commercial aerospace end market  was  impacted  by  major
program delays in fiscal 2010, as well as  continued growth  in the Military end market. Sales  to  the
Commercial aerospace end market were negatively  impacted in fiscal 2009  by  the Boeing strike.

Aerospace Systems: The Aerospace Systems segment net sales increased by  $85.1  million, or
8.6%, to $1.07 billion for the fiscal year  ended March 31, 2010  from $988.4 million for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2009. The fiscal 2009 acquisitions contributed $123.0 million of increased net  sales.
Organic sales decreased by $37.8 million due  to  declines in the  business jet  and regional jet markets
due to the overall economic conditions  and  major program delays,  however, the prior year  period sales
were negatively impacted by the Boeing  strike.

Aerospace Systems segment operating income increased by $2.5 million, or 1.5%,  to  $170.5 million
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 from $168.0 million for  the fiscal year ended March  31, 2009.
Operating income increased primarily  due to margins attained on increased sales,  including the
contribution from the above-mentioned acquisitions, as well  as decreases in litigation expenses
($0.9 million) and bad debt expenses  ($2.3 million),  partially  offset  by increases in depreciation and
amortization ($6.0 million) primarily associated with the fiscal 2009 acquisitions.

Aerospace Systems segment operating income as a  percentage of segment  sales  decreased to
15.9% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010  as compared with 17.0%  for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2009, due to the decrease in gross margin.

Aftermarket Services: The Aftermarket Services segment net  sales decreased  by $29.6 million, or

11.6%, to $225.0 million for the fiscal year  ended March 31,  2010 from  $254.6 million  for the  fiscal
year ended March 31, 2009. This decrease was due to a decline  in global commercial air  traffic and
airline inventory de-stocking resulting in  lower  demand  for the repair  and overhaul of auxiliary power
units and the brokering of similar units.

Aftermarket Services segment operating income increased by $0.2  million, or 2.1%, to

$11.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010  from $10.9  million for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2009. Despite decreased sales volume  as described above, operating  income  increased
primarily due to charges recorded in  the fiscal  year ended  March 31,  2009 for  cost overruns and  excess
overhead at our Phoenix APU operations, contract terminations and changes  in estimate  under
power-by-the hour (‘‘PBH’’) contracts, offset by  $0.3 million in expenses incurred to shut down a
service facility in Austin, Texas in fiscal  2010. While the results of our  Phoenix APU operations
continue to improve, operating margins continued to be dilutive  to  the  segment’s results.

Aftermarket Services segment operating income as  a percentage of  segment sales increased  to

4.9% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010  as compared with 4.3%  for the fiscal  year ended
March 31, 2009, due to a decline in sales volume offset  by improved results at  the Phoenix APU
operations.

Aerospace Systems: The Aerospace Systems segment net sales increased by $81.0  million, or
8.9%, to $988.4 million for the fiscal  year  ended March 31,  2009 from $907.4 million  for the  fiscal year
ended March 31, 2008. The increase  was primarily due  to  organic sales growth to our OEM customers
of $44.0 million driven by increased aircraft build rates and by a  favorable  settlement of a retroactive
pricing agreement, negatively impacted  by  the Boeing strike and  major program delays (particularly in
the 787 and 747-8 programs). The net sales contributed  from the  fiscal  2009 acquisitions and the fiscal
2008 acquisition of B. & R. Machine  &  Tool Corp. (now Triumph Structures—Long Island) of
$37.0 million accounted for the remaining  increase.

Aerospace Systems segment operating income increased by $43.2 million, or 34.6%, to

$168.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 from  $124.8 million for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2008. Operating income increased  primarily due  to  margins attained on increased sales,
including the contribution of $13.8 million  from the above-mentioned acquisitions, as well as  decreases
in litigation expenses ($3.8 million) and  incentive compensation ($1.1 million), partially offset by
increases in payroll ($2.9 million) and healthcare costs ($2.0 million).

Aerospace Systems segment operating income as  a percentage of segment  sales increased to 17.0%

for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 as  compared with  13.8% for  the fiscal year ended March 31,
2008, due to the contribution of the acquisition of  B. & R. Machine & Tool Corp,  the reduction in
expenses discussed above, and the favorable settlement of a  retroactive pricing agreement.

Aftermarket Services: The Aftermarket Services segment net  sales increased by $8.0 million, or

3.3%, to $254.6 million for the fiscal  year  ended March 31,  2009 from $246.6 million  for the  fiscal year
ended March 31, 2008. This increase  was due to increased market penetration  in the repair and
overhaul of auxiliary power units and thrust reversers primarily at our Thailand repair  and maintenance
facility. These increases were offset by decreased fleet utilization by customers under PBH contracts
impacting revenue  by approximately  $3.1 million.

Aftermarket Services segment operating income decreased by  $12.6 million, or 53.7%,  to
$10.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009  from $23.5 million for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2008. Operating income decreased primarily due to losses at the Phoenix APU operations
due to cost overruns and excess overhead ($4.8 million),  higher than expected warranty expenses
($0.6 million), lower than expected PBH  revenue  ($3.1 million), PBH contract charges ($1.1 million)
and additional charges for the early termination  of  a maintenance contract ($1.3 million), partially
offset by higher margins attained on  increased sales as described above, as well as decreases in payroll
($0.8 million) and incentive compensation expenses ($1.1  million).

Aftermarket Services segment operating income as  a percentage of  segment sales decreased  to

4.3% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009  as  compared with 9.5% for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2008, due to the $5.5 million in  charges due to contract terminations and changes in
estimate under PBH contracts as well  as  the production and operation losses at the Phoenix APU
operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working capital needs are generally funded through cash flow from operations and borrowings

under our credit arrangements. During the  year ended March 31, 2010, we generated approximately
$169.6 million of cash flow from operating  activities, used approximately $62.5 million in  investing
activities and generated approximately  $35.3 million in  financing activities.

Cash flows from operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010  increased $34.7 million,  or

25.7%, from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Our cash  flows from operations increased  despite a
decrease of $20.2 million in net income, which  included $5.8  million  in additional  non-cash charges for
depreciation and amortization due to  the fiscal 2009 acquisitions  and $19.9  million in impairment
charges within discontinued operations during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.  The increase in
cash flows resulted from continued improvements  in our inventory management resulting in a source of
cash of $30.2 million as compared to  the use  of  cash of $7.7 million in the prior year  period.

On August 17, 2009, we amended the  existing amended and restated  credit  agreement (the ‘‘Credit

Facility’’) with our lenders to (i) increase the availability under  the Credit  Facility to $485.0 million
from $370.0 million, (ii) extend the maturity date to January  31, 2013 and (iii) amend certain other
terms and covenants. As of March 31, 2010, $478.9  million  was available under  our Credit Facility.  On
March 31, 2010, no borrowings and $6.1 million  in letters of credit were outstanding under the Credit
Facility. Amounts repaid under the Credit Facility  may be reborrowed.

In November 2009, the Company issued $175.0 million principal  amount  of  8% Senior

Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the ‘‘2017  Notes’’).  The  2017 Notes were sold  at 98.558%  of principal
amount for net proceeds of $172.5 million, and  have an  effective  interest rate  of  8.25%. Interest on the
2017 Notes is payable semi-annually  in cash  in arrears on  May  15 and November 15 of  each  year.  In
connection with the issuance of the 2017  Notes,  the Company incurred approximately $4.4  million of
costs, which were deferred and are being  amortized on the effective  interest method over the term  of
the notes.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, we acquired Fabritech, Inc. (now Triumph Fabrications—
St. Louis) and DCL Avionics, Inc. (now  part  of  Triumph Instruments—Burbank), collectively the ‘‘fiscal
2010 acquisitions.’’ The total cash paid at closing for the fiscal  2010 acquisitions of $23.2 million was
funded by cash from operations. The  fiscal 2010 acquisitions  provide for deferred and contingent
payments of $0.1 million and $16.0 million,  respectively. The  fair value of the contingent  payments is
$10.6 million as of March 31, 2010.

During  the year ended March 31, 2009, we generated approximately $135.0 million of cash flow

from operating activities, used approximately $185.6 million in investing activities and  generated
approximately $52.1 million in financing activities. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, our
increased cash flow from operations  was attributable to higher net income and  an improved
performance on working capital due to  increased cash  collections efforts,  offset by timing of cash
disbursements and utilization of inventory.

In August 2008, we entered into a receivable securitization facility (the ‘‘Securitization  Facility’’).

Under the Securitization Facility, the  Company sells  on a  revolving  basis certain accounts  receivable to
Triumph Receivables, LLC, a wholly-owned  special purpose entity, which in turn sells a  percentage
ownership interest in the receivables to commercial paper conduits sponsored by financial institutions.
The Company is the servicer of the accounts  receivable under the Securitization  Facility. As of
March 31, 2010, the maximum amount  available  under the  Securitization Facility was $123.5 million.
The Securitization Facility is due to expire in August  2010 and is subject to annual renewal  through
August 2013. Interest rates are based  on  prevailing market rates for  short-term commercial  paper plus
a program fee and a commitment fee. The program fee is 0.85% on  the amount outstanding under the
Securitization Facility. Additionally, the commitment  fee  is 0.65% on 102% of the  maximum amount

40

available under the Securitization Facility. At March 31, 2010,  there was $75.0  million  outstanding
under the Securitization Facility included  in the current portion of long-term debt  on the  consolidated
balance sheet, representing the minimum borrowing  requirement. We use this facility because it offers
an attractive interest rate relative to other financing sources.  The  Company securitizes its accounts
receivable, which are generally non-interest bearing, in transactions that are accounted for as
borrowings under the Transfers and Servicing topic of the ASC. The agreement governing the
Securitization Facility contains restrictions  and covenants  which include limitations on  the making of
certain restricted payments, creation of certain liens,  and  certain corporate  acts such as  mergers,
consolidations and the sale of substantially all assets.

In March 2009, we acquired Merritt Tool Company, Inc. (now Triumph Structures—East Texas),

Saygrove Defence & Aerospace Group Limited (now Triumph Actuation  & Motion Control Systems—
UK), the aviation segment of Kongsberg  Automotive Holdings ASA (now Triumph  Controls—UK and
Triumph Controls—Germany) and The  Mexmil Company,  LLC (now Triumph  Insulation  Systems),
collectively the ‘‘fiscal 2009 acquisitions’’. No in-process research and development was  attributed to the
fiscal 2009 acquisitions. The total cash paid  at closing for the fiscal 2009  acquisitions of $143.6  million
was funded by borrowings under our Credit  Facility. The fiscal 2009  acquisitions further provide for
deferred payments of $3.5 million, of  which $2.1  million and $1.4 million are payable in March 2010
and September 2010, respectively. The  fiscal 2009 acquisitions also provide for contingent payments of
$24.9 million, certain of which are contingent  upon the  achievement of specified earnings levels during
the earnout period and another $10.0  million  that is contingent upon entering into a  specific customer
contract. The maximum earnout amounts payable  in respect of fiscal 2010, 2011, 2012 and  2013 are
$2.3 million, $4.6 million, $5.4 million and $2.6  million, respectively. The contingent amounts  have not
been recorded as the contingencies have not been resolved and the consideration has not been paid.

Also in March 2009, we entered into a 7-year Master Lease Agreement (the  ‘‘Leasing Facility’’)
creating a capital lease of certain existing  property  and  equipment,  resulting in  net proceeds  of  $58,546
after deducting debt issuance costs of approximately $188. The net proceeds from the  Leasing Facility
were used to repay a portion of the outstanding  indebtedness under  our Credit Facility.  The debt
issuance costs have been recorded as other assets in  the accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  and
are being amortized over the term of  the Leasing Facility. The  Leasing Facility  bears interest at a
weighted average fixed rate of 6.1% per annum.

Cash provided by operations for the fiscal  year ended  March 31,  2008 was $45.7  million, compared

to cash  provided by operations of $41.3  million  for the  fiscal  year ended March 31,  2007. During the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, our increased cash flow  from operations was attributable to higher
net income offset by a decline in performance on working  capital, due to timing of cash collections and
utilization of inventory offset by timing  of  cash  disbursements.

In February 2008, we acquired the assets and business of B. &  R.  Machine  & Tool Corp. (now

Triumph Structures—Long Island), located in  Westbury, New York. The total cash paid at closing for
the acquisition of $67.0 million was funded by borrowings under our Credit Facility. The purchase
agreement provides for an earnout note for  $13.0 million. Payments under the earnout  note are
contingent upon the achievement of certain earnings  levels during  the earnout  period. The  maximum
amounts payable in respect of fiscal 2009, 2010 and 2011, are  $3.5 million, $4.5 million and
$5.0 million, respectively.

During  February 2008, we exercised existing authority to make  stock repurchases and repurchased

220,000 shares of our outstanding shares  under  the program for an aggregate consideration of
$12.3 million, funded by borrowings  under  our Credit  Facility. In February 2008, the Company’s  Board
of Directors then authorized an increase in our  existing stock repurchase  program by up to an
additional 500,000 shares of our common  stock. As a  result, as  of May  15, 2009, we remain able  to
purchase an additional 500,800 shares.  Repurchases may be made  from time to time  in open  market

41

transactions, block purchases, privately negotiated  transactions or otherwise at  prevailing prices. No
time limit has been set for completion  of  the program.

On September 18, 2006, we issued $201.3 million in  convertible senior subordinated notes  (the
‘‘Notes’’). The Notes are direct, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of  the Company, and rank
(i) junior in right of payment to all of  our existing  and future senior indebtedness,  (ii) equal in right of
payment with any other future senior subordinated indebtedness,  and (iii) senior in right of payment to
all subordinated indebtedness.

The Company received net proceeds  from the  sale of the Notes of approximately  $195.0 million

after deducting offering expenses of approximately $6.3 million. The use of the net proceeds from the
sale was for prepayment of our outstanding Senior Notes, including a  ‘‘make whole’’ premium,  fees  and
expenses in connection with the prepayment, and to repay a portion of  the  outstanding indebtedness
under our Credit Facility. Approximately $6.3 million in debt issuance costs have been  recorded as
other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs are being amortized
over a period of five years.

Effective April 1, 2009, we adopted the convertible debt  accounting standard, which requires
retrospective application. The convertible  debt accounting standard  requires separately accounting for
the liability and equity components of the  Notes in a manner that reflects  our nonconvertible debt
borrowing rate when interest and amortization expense is recognized in  subsequent periods. The excess
of the principal amount of the liability  component  over its carrying amount has been recognized as
debt discount and amortized using the effective interest method. This change in accounting for the
Notes has been applied to our consolidated financial statements  on a  retrospective basis,  as required by
the standard. For more details on the impact  of  this change on  our consolidated  financial statements,
see Note 2 to the consolidated financial  statements.  As of March  31, 2009, the  remaining  discount of
$15.9 million will be amortized on the effective interest  method through October 1, 2011.

The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.625% per annum, payable  in cash  semi-annually in
arrears on each April 1 and October  1 beginning April 1, 2007. During the period commencing on
October 6, 2011 and ending on, but excluding,  April 1,  2012 and each six-month period from October 1
to March 31 or from April 1 to September 30  thereafter, the  Company will pay contingent interest
during the applicable interest period if the  average trading price of a Note  for the  five consecutive
trading days ending on the third trading day immediately preceding  the first day of the  relevant
six-month period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of  the  Notes. The  contingent interest
payable per Note in respect of any six-month period  will  equal 0.25% per annum  calculated on the
average trading price of a Note for the  relevant five trading day period. This contingent interest feature
represents an embedded derivative. Since  it is  in the control of the Company to call the Notes at any
time after October 6, 2011, the value of  the derivative  was determined to be de  minimis. Accordingly,
no value has been assigned at issuance or at March  31, 2009.

The Notes mature on October 1, 2026  unless earlier redeemed, repurchased  or converted. The
Company may redeem the Notes for cash, either in whole or in part, anytime on  or after October  6,
2011 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal  amount  of the Notes to be redeemed plus
accrued and unpaid interest, including  contingent interest and additional  amounts,  if  any, up to but not
including the date of redemption. In  addition, holders  of  the Notes will  have the right to require  the
Company to repurchase for cash all or  a  portion of their Notes on October 1, 2011, 2016 and 2021, at
a repurchase  price equal to 100% of  the  principal  amount  of  the Notes  to be repurchased  plus accrued
and unpaid interest, including contingent  interest and additional amounts,  if  any, up to, but not
including, the date of repurchase. The Notes  are convertible  into  the Company’s  common stock at  a
rate equal to 18.3655 shares per $1,000  principal amount of  the  Notes  (equal to an  initial conversion
price of approximately $54.45 per share),  subject to adjustment as  described in the  Indenture.  Upon
conversion, the Company will deliver  to  the  holder  surrendering the  Notes for conversion, for each

42

$1,000 principal amount of Notes, an amount consisting of cash equal to the lesser  of  $1,000 and the
Company’s total conversion obligation  and,  to  the extent that the Company’s total conversion obligation
exceeds $1,000, at the Company’s election,  cash or shares of the  Company’s common  stock  in respect
of the remainder.

The Notes are eligible for conversion  upon meeting certain conditions as provided in the indenture

agreement. For the periods from October 1, 2007  through December 31,  2007 and January 1, 2008
through March 31, 2008, the Notes were  eligible for conversion; however,  during  this  period, none of
the Notes were converted.

To be included in the calculation of diluted earnings  per  share, the  average price of  the Company’s

common stock for the fiscal year must  exceed the conversion price per share of $54.45. The average
price of the Company’s stock for the fiscal  years  ended March 31,  2010 and March 31, 2009 was $46.68
and $46.49, respectively. Therefore, no additional shares  were included in  the diluted  earnings per
share calculations for those fiscal years. The average  price of the Company’s stock for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2008 was $68.95. Accordingly, 777,059  additional  shares were included  in the diluted
earnings per share calculation.

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change, holders of the  Notes will have the  right, subject
to certain conditions, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a  portion of their Notes at
a repurchase  price equal to 100% of  the  principal  amount  of  the Notes  to be repurchased  plus accrued
and unpaid interest, including contingent  interest and additional amounts,  if  any.

During  fiscal 2010, the Company paid $4.0 million to purchase $4.2  million in principal on  the

Notes, resulting in a reduction in the carrying amount of the Notes of $3.8 million and a gain on
extinguishment of less than $0.1 million.  During fiscal 2009, we paid $15.4 million to purchase
$18.0 million of principal on the convertible senior  subordinated  notes, resulting  in a reduction in the
carrying  amount of the Notes of $16.3  million and a gain on early extinguishment of $0.9 million.

The indentures under the Company’s debt agreements and the Credit Facility contain restrictions

and covenants which include limitations on the Company’s ability to incur additional  indebtedness,
issue stock options or warrants, make certain  restricted payments and  acquisitions,  create liens, enter
into transactions with affiliates, sell substantial  portions of its assets  and pay cash dividends. Additional
covenants require compliance with financial  tests,  including leverage and interest coverage ratio.

At March 31, 2010, there were no borrowings and $6.1 million in  letters of credit outstanding
under the Credit Facility. At March 31, 2009,  there were $127.7  million in  borrowings  and $5.6 million
in letters of credit outstanding under the  Credit Facility.  The level of unused  borrowing  capacity under
the Company’s revolving Credit Facility  varies from  time to time  depending  in part upon  its compliance
with financial and other covenants set forth in the related  agreement. The Credit Facility contains
certain affirmative and negative covenants  including limitations on specified levels  of  indebtedness to
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and interest coverage requirements, and
includes limitations on, among other  things,  liens, mergers, consolidations, sales of assets,  and
incurrence of debt. The Company is currently in compliance with  all such covenants. As of March 31,
2010, the Company had borrowing capacity under  the Credit  Facility of $478.9  million, after  reductions
for borrowings and letters of credit outstanding.

Capital expenditures were approximately $31.7 million for the  fiscal year  ended March 31,  2010

primarily for manufacturing machinery  and equipment. We funded these expenditures through
borrowings under our Credit Facility. We expect capital expenditures to be approximately $50.0 million
for our  fiscal year ending March 31,  2011.  The expenditures  are  expected to be used mainly to expand
capacity  or replace old equipment at several facilities. During the same period, we anticipate
approximately $2.5 million of start-up costs related to the Mexican facility which is in  addition  to  our
investment in capital and infrastructure.

Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes and the  2017 Notes of $9.5 million and $2.4 million,
respectively, being amortized to expense  through September 2011  and November 2017,
respectively.

(2) Includes fixed-rate interest only.

(3) Includes unrecorded contingent payments  in connection  with the  fiscal  2009 acquisitions.

The above table excludes unrecognized tax  benefits of  $4.4  million  as of March  31, 2010 since  we

cannot predict with reasonable certainty  the timing  of  cash  settlements with  the respective taxing
authorities.

The table also excludes our pension  benefit  obligations.  We made contributions  to  our  union
pension plans of $1.5 million and $0.3 million in fiscal 2010  and 2009, respectively. We expect to make
contributions of $3.2 million to our employee benefit  plans during fiscal 2011. As  of March 31, 2010,
our  defined benefit pension plans are  frozen. See Note 14, ‘‘Employee Benefit  Plans’’  of  our
Consolidated Financial Statements for  a further discussion of our pension and  other  employee benefit
plans.

In March 2010, we entered into definitive agreement to purchase Vought from  TC  Group
(‘‘Carlyle’’) for cash and stock consideration. The purchase consideration to Vought shareholders
includes $525.0 million of cash and, subject to certain  adjustments, approximately  7.9 million shares  of
our  common stock. The cash portion of the merger consideration is  fixed. The stock portion  of  the
merger consideration will not be adjusted  to  reflect changes to Triumph’s  stock price prior  to  closing of
the merger. The stock portion of the merger  consideration will be decreased  by  approximately  3,360
shares for each day prior to July 1, 2010  that the merger is  completed and increased by approximately
3,360 shares for each day after July 1, 2010  that the merger  is completed. The stock  portion of the
merger consideration will also be reduced for expenses of Vought  that Triumph pays in connection  with
completing the merger. We will also assume Vought’s debt, which was $592.2 million as of March  31,
2010. The cash portion of the acquisition, as well  as the repayment of  Vought’s assumed debt  is
expected to be funded through a combination of cash-on-hand,  borrowing  under our existing  amended
and restated credit agreement (the ‘‘Credit  Facility’’) and the issuance of  senior notes in the  capital
markets. In anticipation of the merger, we have  obtained a commitment  letter, which  provides us up  to
$1.1 billion in debt financing necessary  to  consummate the  merger  that may be used for funding in the
event the transaction closes prior to  obtaining permanent financing in the capital markets.

We  believe that cash generated by operations  and borrowings under the Credit Facility will be
sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for  our current operations for the foreseeable future.
However, we have a stated policy to grow through acquisitions  and are continuously evaluating various

44

acquisition opportunities. As a result, we currently are pursuing the  potential purchase of a number of
candidates. In the event that more than one of these transactions is successfully consummated, the
availability under the Credit Facility might be fully utilized and additional funding sources may  be
needed. There can be no assurance that  such funding sources will be available to us on terms  favorable
to us, if at all.

On May 10, 2010, the Company entered  into  a $535.0 million revolving credit facility,  subject to
the closing of the Vought acquisition. This revolving credit  facility will  be  available to partially fund the
Vought acquisition and refinance any existing obligations under our existing  Credit  Facility, with a
maturity date four years from the closing  of  the Vought acquisition.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Critical accounting policies are those  accounting policies that  can have a significant impact on the

presentation of our financial condition  and results of operations, and that require the use of complex
and subjective estimates based upon past experience and management’s judgment. Because of the
uncertainty inherent in such estimates, actual results  may  differ from these estimates. Below are those
policies applied in preparing our financial  statements that management  believes are  the most
dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions. For additional accounting policies, see
Note 2 of ‘‘Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.’’

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Trade receivables are presented net of an allowance for doubtful  accounts. In determining the

appropriate allowance, we consider a  combination of factors, such  as industry trends,  our customers’
financial strength and credit standing, and payment and default  history.  The calculation of the required
allowance requires a judgment as to  the  impact  of  these  and other factors on the ultimate  realization of
our  trade receivables. We believe that these  estimates are reasonable and historically have not resulted
in material adjustments in subsequent periods  when the  estimates are adjusted  to  actual amounts.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of  cost or market using  the average cost or specific
identification methods. We write down our  inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable
inventory equal to the difference between  the cost of inventory and estimated market value based upon
assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable
than those anticipated, inventory adjustments may be required. We believe that these estimates are
reasonable and historically have not  resulted  in material adjustments  in subsequent periods when  the
estimates are adjusted to actual amounts.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized in accordance with the contract terms  when products are shipped,

delivery has occurred or services have  been rendered, pricing is fixed or determinable,  and collection is
reasonably assured. The Aftermarket Services Segment provides repair  and  overhaul services, certain of
which  services are provided under long  term power-by-the-hour  contracts. The Company applies  the
proportional performance method to recognize  revenue under these  contracts.  Revenue is  recognized
over the contract period as units are delivered based on the relative fair  value in proportion  to  the
total estimated contract consideration.  In estimating the total contract consideration,  we evaluate  the
projected utilization of our customer’s  fleet over  the term of  the  contract, in connection with the
related estimated repair and overhaul servicing requirements to the fleet based on such utilization.
Changes in utilization of the fleet by  our customers, among other  factors, may have  an impact on these
estimates and require adjustments to  our  estimates of revenue to be realized.

45

Reserves for contract losses are accrued when estimated costs to complete  exceed expected future

revenues. The Company’s policy with respect  to  sales  returns  and allowances  generally provides that the
customer may not return products or be given allowances, except at  the Company’s option.  Accruals  for
sales returns, other allowances, and estimated warranty costs  are  provided  at the time of shipment
based upon past experience.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives  are not amortized; rather, they  are tested  for
impairment on at least an annual basis. Additionally, intangible  assets with  finite lives continue to be
amortized over their useful lives.

The Company’s operating segments of  Aerospace Systems and Aftermarket Services are  also the
reporting units under ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. The Chief Executive Officer, President
and Chief Operating Officer and the Chief  Financial Officer comprise the Company’s  Chief Operating
Decision Maker (‘‘CODM’’). The Company’s CODM evaluates performance and  allocates resources
based upon review of segment information.  Each of the operating  segments is comprised of a  number
of operating units which are considered  to  be  components  under ASC  350. The operating  units, for
which  discrete financial information exists, are  aggregated for purposes of goodwill  impairment testing.
The Company’s acquisition strategy is  to  acquire companies  that complement and enhance the
capabilities of the  operating segments  of  the  Company. Each acquisition is assigned to either the
Aerospace Systems reporting unit or  the Aftermarket  Services reporting unit. The goodwill that results
from each acquisition is also assigned to the reporting unit  to  which the  acquisition  is allocated,
because it is that reporting unit which is  intended to benefit  from  the synergies  of  the acquisition.

ASC 350 requires  a two-step impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
lives. The first step is to compare the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s assets to the  fair value  of
the reporting unit. If the fair value exceeds  the carrying value, no further  work is required  and no
impairment loss is  recognized. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value,  then the second step is
required to be completed, which involves allocating the fair value of  the reporting unit  to  each  asset
and liability, with the excess being implied goodwill. An impairment loss  occurs if the  amount  of  the
recorded  goodwill exceeds the implied goodwill. The determination of the fair value  of  our  reporting
units is based, among other things, on estimates  of  future  operating performance of the reporting unit
being valued. We are required to complete an  impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets  with
indefinite lives and record any resulting  impairment losses at least annually.  Changes in market
conditions, among other factors, may  have an impact  on these estimates  and  require interim
impairment assessments.

We  completed our required annual impairment test in the  fourth quarter  of  fiscal 2010 and
determined that there was no impairment.  Our methodology  for determining the fair value of a
reporting unit includes the use of an income approach  which discounts future net  cash flows to their
present  value at a rate that reflects the Company’s cost  of capital, otherwise known as the  discounted
cash flow method (‘‘DCF’’). These estimated fair  values are based  on estimates of future  cash flows of
the businesses. Factors affecting these future cash flows include the continued market acceptance of  the
products and services offered by the  businesses,  the development of new products and services by the
businesses and the underlying cost of development, the future cost structure of the businesses, and
future technological changes. The Company also incorporated market multiples for  comparable
companies in determining the fair value  of our reporting units. Any such impairment would  be
recognized in full in the reporting period in which it  has been identified.

In fiscal  2010, we conducted additional sensitivity analysis  to  assess the risk for  potential

impairment based upon changes in the  key assumptions  in our goodwill valuation test.  We reviewed the
Aftermarket Services reporting unit since it had significant  changes in its economic indicators and

46

adjusted for select changes in the risk  adjusted  discount rate to consider both the current return
requirements of the market and the risks  inherent in  the reporting unit,  expected long-term  growth rate
and cash flow projections to determine if  any decline in the  estimated  fair value of a reporting  unit
could result in a goodwill impairment. Based upon our  additional  analysis, it was determined that there
was no impairment to be recognized,  however, the  fair value of our Aftermarket Services  reporting unit
was not substantially in excess of its carrying amount, as the  fair value exceeded the carrying  value by
approximately 5%. The amount of goodwill for our Aftermarket Services  reporting unit amounted to
$74.1 million at March 31, 2010. Going forward, we will continue to monitor  the performance  of  this
reporting unit in relation to the key assumptions in our analysis. If  management determines that
impairment exists, the impairment will be recognized in the period in which it is identified.

In the event that market multiples for  stock price to EBITDA in  the aerospace and  defense
markets decrease, or the expected EBITDA for our reporting units decreases, a goodwill impairment
charge  may be required, which would adversely  affect our  operating results  and financial condition. No
impairment charges have been incurred during  the fiscal years ended March  31, 2010, 2009 or 2008.

Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized  over their useful lives ranging from 5 to 30 years. We

continually evaluate whether events or circumstances  have occurred that  would indicate that the
remaining estimated useful lives of our long-lived assets, including  intangible assets, may  warrant
revision or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. Intangible assets  are evaluated for
indicators of impairment. When factors indicate that  long-lived assets,  including intangible assets,
should be evaluated for possible impairment, an  estimate of the  related undiscounted cash flows over
the remaining life of the long-lived assets, including intangible  assets, is used  to  measure  recoverability.
Some of the more important factors we  consider  include  our  financial  performance relative to our
expected and historical performance,  significant changes  in the way we  manage our  operations,  negative
events that have occurred, and negative industry and economic trends.  If  any impairment is  indicated,
measurement of the impairment will  be  based on the difference  between the carrying value and fair
value of the asset, generally determined  based on the present value of expected future cash flows
associated with the use of the asset. For the fiscal years ended  March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, there
were no reductions to the remaining  useful lives and no  write-downs of long-lived  assets, including
intangible assets, were required.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards  Board (‘‘FASB’’)  issued FASB  Staff  Position
(‘‘FSP’’) No. 157-1, which amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards  (‘‘SFAS’’) No.  157, Fair
Value Measurements (‘‘SFAS 157’’) to exclude SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and other accounting
pronouncements that address fair value measurements for lease transactions, and  FSP No. 157-2, which
primarily were codified into ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (‘‘ASC 820’’) and
delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 as  it relates  to  nonfinancial assets  and nonfinancial  liabilities
until April 1, 2009 for the Company,  except for items that are recognized or  disclosed at fair value in
the Company’s financial statements on  a  recurring basis. The nonfinancial  assets and nonfinancial
liabilities for which the Company had previously not applied the  fair value provisions of SFAS 157
include: goodwill; intangible and other  long-lived asset impairment testing; asset retirement  obligations;
liabilities for exit or disposal activities; and business combinations. The adoption had no impact on the
Company’s financial position, results  of  operations and cash flows as the Company did  not  have any
non-financial assets and non-financial  liabilities that were recognized  or disclosed at fair value  on a
recurring basis at March 31, 2009.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume  and Level
of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have  Significantly  Decreased and  Identifying  Transactions That Are Not
Orderly, which primarily was codified into ASC 820. The FSP requires entities to  evaluate the
significance and relevance of market  factors  for  fair value inputs to determine if,  due  to  reduced

47

volume and market activity, the factors are still relevant and substantive measures of fair  value. The
FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June  15, 2009, and the adoption
did not have any effect on our financial  position or results of operations.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement

Benefit Plan Assets, which primarily was codified into ASC 715, Compensation and Benefits. This FSP
amends SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement
Benefits, to provide guidance on an employer’s  disclosures about  plan assets of  a defined  benefit
pension or other postretirement plan  on investment  policies and strategies,  major categories of plan
assets, inputs and valuation techniques  used to measure the fair value  of  plan assets  and significant
concentrations of risk within plan assets.  This FSP was effective  for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2009, with earlier application  permitted. Upon initial  application, the provisions of this
FSP are not required for earlier periods  that are  presented for comparative purposes. The  required
disclosures under the FSP have been included  in Note  14 of ‘‘Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.’’

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and  APB 28-1, which was primarily codified into

ASC 825, Financial Instruments. This FSP amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments not measured on
the balance sheet at fair value in interim  financial statements  as well  as in annual financial statements.
Prior to this FSP, fair values for these assets  and  liabilities were only disclosed  annually.  This FSP
applies to all financial instruments within  the scope of  SFAS 107 and  requires all entities to disclose  the
method(s) and significant assumptions  used to estimate the  fair value of financial instruments.  This FSP
was effective for interim periods ending  after  June 15, 2009,  with early adoption permitted  for periods
ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted this FSP  in the quarter ended December 31,  2009
and the adoption of this FSP did not  have a material effect on its disclosures.

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted  SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations
(‘‘SFAS 141(R)’’) which was primarily codified into ASC 805, Business Combinations, and SFAS
No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling  Interests  in Consolidated  Financial Statements, an
amendment of ARB No. 51 (‘‘SFAS 160’’), which was primarily codified into ASC  810, Consolidations.
SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business
combination transactions and noncontrolling (minority) interests. The  adoption of SFAS 141(R)  and
SFAS 160 did not have a material impact  on  the Company’s consolidated financial  statements.

Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating  to  our future operations and prospects, including statements
that are based on current projections  and  expectations about the markets in which we operate, and
management’s beliefs concerning future  performance and  capital  requirements based upon  current
available information. Such statements are based on management’s beliefs  as well as  assumptions  made
by and information currently available to management. When used in this document,  words like  ‘‘may,’’
‘‘might,’’  ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘anticipate,’’  ‘‘believe,’’  ‘‘potential,’’ and  similar expressions are intended  to
identify forward-looking statements. Actual  results could differ materially from management’s current
expectations. For example, there can be no assurance  that  additional  capital will not be required or that
additional capital, if required, will be  available on reasonable terms,  if at all, at such times and in such
amounts as may be needed by us. In  addition to these factors,  among other  factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially, are  uncertainties relating to the integration of acquired businesses,
including without limitation Vought, general economic conditions  affecting our business segments,
dependence of certain of our businesses on certain key customers, the  risk that we will not realize all of
the anticipated benefits from the acquisition of  Vought as well as competitive factors  relating to the

48

aerospace industry. For a more detailed  discussion of these  and other  factors  affecting us, see  the risk
factors described in ‘‘Item 1A. Risk Factors.’’

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative  Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk

Our primary exposure to market risk  consists of changes  in interest rates on  borrowings. An
increase in interest rates would adversely  affect  our  operating results  and  the cash  flow available after
debt service to fund operations and expansion. In addition, an increase in interest rates would adversely
affect our ability to pay dividends on  our common stock, if  permitted to do  so under certain of our
debt arrangements, including the Credit  Facility. We manage exposure to interest rate fluctuations by
optimizing the use of fixed and variable  rate debt.  As of  March 31, 2010,  approximately  85% of our
debt is fixed rate debt. Our financing policy states that we generally maintain between 50%  and 75% of
our  debt as fixed rate debt. We anticipate  that our  fixed  rate debt may continue exceed 75% of our
total debt during fiscal 2011. In March  2008, the Company entered into a thirty-nine month interest
rate swap to exchange floating rate for  fixed rate interest payments  to  hedge against interest rate
changes on $85.0 million of the Company’s variable rate  debt. The  Company utilizes  the swap to
provide protection to meet actual exposures and  does not speculate in derivatives.  The net effect of the
spread between the floating rate (30-day LIBOR) and  the fixed rate (2.925%)  will  be  reflected  as an
adjustment to interest expense in the period incurred. In December 2009,  the Company elected to de-
designate the interest rate swap as a  hedge. For the fiscal year ended March  31, 2010, $2.3 million  of
losses were reclassified into earnings  from  accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company
estimates that $2.1 million of losses presently  in accumulated other comprehensive  income  will  be
reclassified into earnings during fiscal  year 2011. The information below summarizes our market risks
associated with debt obligations and should be read in conjunction with  Note 10  of ‘‘Notes  to
Consolidated Financial Statements.’’

The following table presents principal cash flows and the related interest  rates. Fixed interest rates

disclosed represent the weighted average rate as of March 31, 2010.  Variable interest rates disclosed
fluctuate with the  LIBOR, federal funds  rates and other weekly rates and  represent  the weighted
average rate at March 31, 2010.

Report of Independent Registered Public  Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders  of Triumph Group, Inc.

We  have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Triumph Group, Inc. as of
March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated  statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period  ended March  31, 2010. Our audits also included the
financial statement schedule listed in the  index at Item 15(a).  These  financial statements  and schedule
are the responsibility of the Company’s  management. Our responsibility is  to  express  an opinion on
these financial statements and schedule based  on our audits.

We  conducted our audits in accordance with the standards  of  the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those  standards require that we  plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether  the  financial  statements are free  of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence  supporting the amounts and disclosures  in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting  principles used  and significant
estimates made by management, as well as  evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable  basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,  in all
material respects, the consolidated financial  position of  Triumph  Group, Inc. at March 31,  2010 and
2009, and the consolidated results of  its  operations  and its cash flows for  each  of the three years in the
period ended March 31, 2010, in conformity with  U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in
our  opinion, the related financial statement schedule,  when considered in relation to the  basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all  material respects the information set forth  therein.

As discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed  its method

of accounting for collateral assignment split-dollar  life insurance  agreements as of  April 1, 2008.

We  also have audited, in accordance  with the standards of  the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), Triumph Group, Inc.’s internal  control over financial reporting  as of
March 31, 2010, based on criteria established in  Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued  by  the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations  of  the Treadway  Commission and our  report dated May 14,
2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Triumph Group, Inc. (‘‘Triumph’’) is  a Delaware corporation  which, through  its operating
subsidiaries, designs, engineers, manufactures and sells  products  for the  global aerospace original
equipment manufacturers (‘‘OEMs’’) of  aircraft and  aircraft  components and  repairs and overhauls
aircraft components and accessories for  commercial airline, air cargo carrier and  military customers  on
a worldwide basis. Triumph and its subsidiaries (collectively,  the  ‘‘Company’’) is organized based  on the
products and services that it provides. Under this organizational structure, the Company has two
reportable segments: the Aerospace Systems Group and the  Aftermarket Services Group.

The Aerospace Systems segment consists of the Company’s  operations which manufacture products

primarily for the aerospace OEM market.  The segment’s  operations design and  engineer mechanical
and electromechanical controls, such  as hydraulic  systems and components, main  engine gearbox
assemblies, accumulators and mechanical  control cables.  The  segment’s revenues are also  derived from
stretch forming, die forming, milling,  bonding, machining, welding and assembly and fabrication of
various structural components used in  aircraft wings, fuselages  and other  significant assemblies. Further,
the segment’s operations also design  and  manufacture  composite  assemblies  for floor panels,
environmental control system ducts, non-structural cockpit components and thermal acoustic insulation
systems. These products are sold to various  aerospace  OEMs on a global  basis.

The Aftermarket Services segment consists of  the Company’s operations that provide  maintenance,

repair and overhaul services to both  commercial and military markets on components and accessories
manufactured by third parties. Maintenance, repair  and overhaul revenues are  derived from services on
auxiliary power units, air frame and engine  accessories, including  constant-speed drives, cabin
compressors, starters and generators,  and  pneumatic drive units. In addition, the segment’s  operations
repair and overhaul thrust reversers, nacelle components  and flight control  surfaces. The segment’s
operations also perform repair and overhaul services, and supply  spare  parts, for various types  of
cockpit instruments and gauges for a broad range of commercial  airlines on  a worldwide basis.

Repair services generally involve the  replacement of parts and/or  the remanufacture of parts, which

is similar to the original manufacture of  the part. The processes that the  Company performs related  to
repair and overhaul services are essentially the  repair of  wear parts  or replacement of parts that are
beyond economic repair. The repair service generally involves  remanufacturing a  complete part  or a
component of a part.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of  Triumph and its
subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been  eliminated from the  consolidated
financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements  in conformity with  accounting principles generally accepted

in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the  amounts
reported in the financial statements and  accompanying notes. Actual results  could  differ  from those
estimates.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments  with a  maturity of three months or less at  the

time of purchase. Fair value of cash equivalents approximates carrying  value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company
performs ongoing credit evaluations of  its customers  and generally does not require  collateral. The
Company records the allowance for doubtful  accounts based  on prior experience  and for specific
collectibility matters when they arise.  The Company  writes  off balances against the reserve when
collectibility is deemed remote. The Company’s trade accounts receivable are exposed to credit risk;
however, the risk is limited due to the diversity  of the customer  base.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of  cost or market using  the average-cost or specific-

identification methods. The Company  writes down  its  inventory for  estimated  obsolescence or
unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost  of inventory and estimated market
value based upon assumptions about  future  demand and market conditions. If actual  market  conditions
are less favorable than those anticipated,  inventory adjustments may be required. The Company
believes that these estimates are reasonable and historically have not resulted in  material  adjustments
in subsequent periods when the estimates  are adjusted to actual amounts.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, which includes equipment  under capital lease and  leasehold

improvements, are recorded at cost and  depreciated  over the estimated useful lives of the  related
assets, or the lease term if shorter in  the case of leasehold improvements, by the straight-line method.
Buildings and improvements are depreciated  over a period  of 15 to 391⁄2 years, and machinery and
equipment are depreciated over a period  of 7  to  15 years (except for  furniture, fixtures and computer
equipment which are depreciated over  a  period  of 3 to 10  years).

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for purchased goodwill and intangible assets in  accordance with
Accounting Standards Codification (‘‘ASC’’)  350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. Under ASC 350,
purchased goodwill and intangible assets  with indefinite lives are not amortized; rather, they  are tested
for impairment on at least an annual  basis. Intangible assets with  finite lives are amortized over their
useful lives.

The Company’s operating segments of Aerospace  Systems  and Aftermarket Services are  also the

reporting units. The Chief Executive  Officer,  President and Chief Operating  Officer and the Chief
Financial Officer comprise the Company’s  Chief Operating  Decision Maker  (‘‘CODM’’). The
Company’s CODM evaluates performance and allocates  resources based upon review  of segment
information. Each of the operating segments is  comprised of a number of operating  units which  are
considered to be components. The operating units, for which discrete financial  information exists, are

56

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  (Continued)

aggregated for purposes of goodwill  impairment testing.  The Company’s acquisition strategy is  to
acquire companies that complement and enhance  the capabilities of the operating segments of  the
Company. Each acquisition is assigned  to  either the  Aerospace Systems reporting unit or the
Aftermarket Services reporting unit.  The  goodwill that results  from each acquisition is  also assigned  to
the reporting unit  to which the acquisition  is allocated, because it is that reporting unit which is
intended to benefit from the synergies  of the  acquisition.

In order to test goodwill and intangible assets  with indefinite lives, a determination of the  fair
value of the Company’s reporting units  and intangible assets  with indefinite lives is required  and is
based, among other things, on estimates  of  future  operating performance of the reporting unit and/or
the component of the entity being valued.  The Company is required to complete an impairment  test for
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives  and record  any resulting impairment losses  at least
on an annual basis. Changes in market  conditions, among other factors,  may have an  impact  on these
estimates and require interim impairment assessments. We completed our  required annual impairment
test in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and determined that there was  no impairment.  Our
methodology for determining the fair  value of a reporting unit includes the  use of an  income  approach
which  discounts future net cash flows  to  their  present value at a rate that reflects  the Company’s cost
of capital, otherwise known as the discounted cash flow  method (‘‘DCF’’). These  estimated fair values
are based on estimates of future cash flows  of  the businesses. Factors  affecting these future  cash flows
include the continued market acceptance of  the products and services  offered by the businesses, the
development of new products and services by the  businesses and the underlying cost of  development,
the future cost structure of the businesses,  and  future technological changes. The Company  also
incorporated market multiples for comparable companies  in determining  the fair value of our reporting
units. In the event that valuations in the aerospace  and defense markets decrease,  or the expected
EBITDA for our reporting units decreases, a  goodwill  impairment charge  may be required,  which
would adversely affect our operating  results and  financial condition. Any such  impairment would be
recognized in full in the reporting period in which it  has been identified.  The Company completed its
required annual impairment tests in the fourth  quarters of fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008 and determined
that there was no impairment.

Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized  over their useful lives ranging from 5 to 30 years. The
Company continually evaluates whether events  or circumstances have occurred  that  would indicate that
the remaining estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, including intangible assets,  may warrant
revision or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. Intangible assets  are evaluated for
indicators of impairment. When factors indicate that  long-lived assets,  including intangible assets,
should be evaluated for possible impairment, an  estimate of the  related undiscounted cash flows over
the remaining life of the long-lived assets, including intangible  assets, is used  to  measure  recoverability.
Some of the more important factors management  considers include the Company’s financial
performance relative to expected and  historical  performance, significant changes in  the way the
Company manages its operations, negative events  that have occurred, and negative  industry  and
economic trends. If any impairment is  indicated, measurement  of  the impairment will be based  on the
difference between the carrying value and  fair value of the  asset, generally determined  based on the
present  value of expected future cash  flows  associated with  the use  of  the asset. For the fiscal years
ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008,  exclusive  of  the charges recorded in  connection with

57

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  (Continued)

discontinued operations, there were no reductions to the remaining useful lives and no  write-downs  of
long-lived assets, including intangible  assets, were required.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized in accordance with the contract terms  when products are shipped,

delivery has occurred or services have  been rendered, pricing is fixed or determinable,  and collection is
reasonably assured. The Aftermarket Services Group  provides repair  and overhaul services, certain of
which  services are provided under long  term power-by-the-hour  contracts. The Company applies  the
proportional performance method to recognize  revenue under these  contracts.  Revenue is  recognized
over the contract period as units are delivered based on the relative fair  value in proportion  to  the
total estimated contract consideration.  In estimating the total contract consideration,  management
evaluates the projected utilization of  its  customer’s  fleet over the  term of the contract, in connection
with the related estimated repair and  overhaul servicing requirements to the fleet based  on such
utilization. Changes in utilization of the fleet by customers, among other factors,  may have an impact
on these estimates and require adjustments to estimates of revenue  to  be  realized.

Reserves for contract losses are accrued when estimated costs to complete  exceed expected future

revenues. The Company’s policy with respect  to  sales  returns  and allowances  generally provides that the
customer may not return products or be given allowances, except at  the Company’s option.  Accruals  for
sales returns, other allowances, and estimated warranty costs  are  provided  at the time of shipment
based upon past experience.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The cost of shipping and handling products is included in cost  of products sold.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense was  approximately $25,670, $21,001 and $9,883 for the fiscal

years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and  2008, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation

The determination of the functional currency  for Triumph’s  foreign subsidiaries  is made based on

appropriate economic factors. The functional  currency of the Company’s  subsidiaries,  Triumph Logistics
(UK) Ltd. and Triumph Aviation Services-Asia, is the U.S. dollar since that is the currency in  which
those entities primarily generate and  expend cash. The functional currency of the Company’s remaining
subsidiaries is the local currency, since that  is the currency in  which those entities primarily generate
and expend cash. Assets and liabilities  of  these subsidiaries  are  translated at  the rates of exchange  at
the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are  translated at average monthly rates of exchange.
The resultant translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. At
March 31, 2010 and 2009, accumulated  comprehensive income  resulting from foreign currency
translation was $4,399 and $2,184, respectively. Gains and losses arising from foreign currency
transactions of these subsidiaries are  included in  net income.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  (Continued)

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and  liability  method. The asset and
liability method requires recognition of  deferred tax assets  and liabilities for expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences  that currently exist  between tax bases and  financial  reporting
bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities.

Adjustments to Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been adjusted for the retrospective
application of the convertible debt accounting standard, which  became effective for the Company  on
April 1, 2009. The financial information  contained in the consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes to the consolidated  financial statements  reflect only the adjustments described
below related to the retrospective application of the  convertible debt accounting standard.

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted the convertible debt accounting standard. Early
adoption was not permitted; however, once adopted  the convertible debt accounting  standard requires
retrospective application. The convertible  debt accounting standard  changes the balance sheet
classification of a component of the Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes between equity  and debt,
and results in additional non-cash interest expense recognized in  the statement of income. Capital in
excess of par has been increased by $19.8 million as  of September 30, 2007, to reflect the cumulative
effect of the change in accounting principle to all prior periods.

The following tables set forth the effect of the  retrospective  application of  the convertible debt

accounting standard on certain reported line items:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP  No.  157-1, which amends SFAS No. 157, Fair Value

Measurements (‘‘SFAS 157’’) to exclude SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and other accounting
pronouncements that address fair value measurements for lease transactions, and  FSP No. 157-2, which
primarily were codified into ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and delayed the

60

TRIUMPH GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  (Continued)

effective date of SFAS 157 as it relates  to  nonfinancial  assets and  nonfinancial liabilities until  April 1,
2009 for the Company, except for items that are  recognized or  disclosed at  fair value  in the Company’s
financial statements on a recurring basis.  The nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities for which
the Company had previously not applied  the fair value  provisions of  SFAS 157  include: goodwill;
intangible and other long-lived asset  impairment testing; asset retirement obligations;  liabilities  for exit
or disposal activities; and business combinations. The  adoption  had no impact on  the Company’s
financial position, results of operations  and cash flows  as the Company  did not have any non-financial
assets and non-financial liabilities that  were recognized or disclosed at fair  value on a recurring basis  at
March 31, 2009.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume  and Level
of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have  Significantly  Decreased and  Identifying  Transactions That Are Not
Orderly, which primarily was codified into ASC 820. The FSP requires entities to  evaluate the
significance and relevance of market  factors  for  fair value inputs to determine if,  due  to  reduced
volume and market activity, the factors are still relevant and substantive measures of fair  value. The
FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June  15, 2009, and the adoption
did not have any effect on our financial  position or results of operations.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement

Benefit Plan Assets, which primarily was codified into ASC 715, Compensation and Benefits. This FSP
amends SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement
Benefits, to provide guidance on an employer’s  disclosures about  plan assets of  a defined  benefit
pension or other postretirement plan  on investment  policies and strategies,  major categories of plan
assets, inputs and valuation techniques  used to measure the fair value  of  plan assets  and significant
concentrations of risk within plan assets.  This FSP shall be effective for  fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2009, with earlier application  permitted. Upon initial  application, the provisions of this
FSP are not required for earlier periods  that are  presented for comparative purposes. The  required
disclosures under the FSP have been included  in Note  14.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and  APB 28-1, which was primarily codified into

ASC 825, Financial Instruments. This FSP amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments not measured on
the balance sheet at fair value in interim  financial statements  as well  as in annual financial statements.
Prior to this FSP, fair values for these assets  and  liabilities were only disclosed  annually.  This FSP
applies to all financial instruments within  the scope of  SFAS 107 and  requires all entities to disclose  the
method(s) and significant assumptions  used to estimate the  fair value of financial instruments.  This FSP
was effective for interim periods ending  after  June 15, 2009,  with early adoption permitted  for periods
ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted this FSP  in the quarter ended December 31,  2009
and the adoption of this FSP did not  have a material effect on its disclosures.

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted  SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations
(‘‘SFAS 141(R)’’) which was primarily codified into ASC 805, Business Combinations, and SFAS
No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling  Interests  in Consolidated  Financial Statements, an
amendment of ARB No. 51 (‘‘SFAS 160’’), which was primarily codified into ASC 810, Consolidations.
SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business
combination transactions and noncontrolling (minority) interests. The  adoption of SFAS 141(R)  and
SFAS 160 did not have a material impact  on  the Company’s consolidated financial  statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company utilizes recognizes compensation expense  for share-based awards based  on the  fair

value of those awards at the date of  grant.  Stock-based compensation expense  for fiscal years 2010,
2009, and 2008 was $3,220, $3,180 and $2,809, respectively.  The benefits  of  tax deductions in excess  of
recognized compensation expense were $206, $245 and $1,737 for fiscal years ended March 31, 2010,
2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company has classified share-based  compensation within selling,
general and administrative expenses  to  correspond with the same line  item as  the majority of the  cash
compensation paid to employees. Upon the  exercise of stock options  or vesting of restricted  stock,  the
Company first transfers treasury stock, then  will  issue new shares. (See Note  15 for  further details.)

3. ACQUISITIONS

In March 2010, we entered into a definitive agreement to purchase Vought Aircraft Industries, Inc.

(‘‘Vought’’) from TC Group, L.L.C. (‘‘Carlyle’’) for cash and  stock consideration. The purchase
consideration to Vought shareholders includes  $525,000 of cash and,  subject to certain adjustments,
approximately 7.9 million shares of our  common  stock. The cash  portion of the merger  consideration is
fixed. The stock portion of the merger  consideration will not be adjusted  to reflect changes to
Triumph’s stock price prior to closing of the merger. The stock  portion of the merger consideration  will
be decreased by approximately 3,360  shares for each day  prior to July 1, 2010 that the  merger is
completed and increased by approximately 3,360 shares for each  day  after July 1, 2010 that the merger
is completed. The stock portion of the  merger consideration will  also  be  reduced for  expenses of
Vought that Triumph pays in connection with completing  the merger. We will  also assume Vought’s
debt, which was $592,200 as of March  31, 2010. The cash portion  of the acquisition, as well as the
repayment of Vought’s assumed debt is expected to be funded through a  combination of cash-on-hand,
borrowing under our existing amended  and restated credit  agreement  (the  ‘‘Credit  Facility’’) and  the
issuance of senior notes in the capital markets.  In anticipation  of the merger, we have obtained a
commitment letter, which provides us  up  to  $1,085,000 in debt financing necessary to consummate the
merger that may be used for funding  in the  event the transaction  closes prior  to  obtaining  permanent
financing in the capital markets. During fiscal 2010,  the Company incurred $1,114 in acquisition-related
costs recorded in selling, general and  administrative expenses  in the accompanying statement of
income.

Vought is a leading global manufacturer  of aerostructures for  commercial, military and business jet

aircraft. Products include fuselages, wings,  empennages,  nacelles and helicopter cabins. Vought’s
customer base is comprised of the leading  global  aerospace  OEMs and over 80%  of its  revenue is from
sole source, long-term contracts. Vought’s  revenues for  the year ended December 31, 2009 were
$1.9 billion and they employed approximately 5,900 people.

deferred payments and estimated contingent payments.  The  estimated  contingent payments  represent
an earnout note contingent upon the achievement of certain  earnings levels during the earnout period.

the fair value hierarchy. The excess of  the  purchase price over the estimated fair value of the  net assets
acquired of $22,279 was recorded as goodwill,  which is  not deductible for tax purposes.  The Company
has also identified intangible assets valued  at approximately $4,100 with a weighted-average life of
10.0 years. The Company is awaiting  final  appraisal of tangible and intangible assets related  to  the
fiscal 2010 acquisitions. Accordingly, the  Company  has recorded its best estimate of the value of

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS  AND  ASSETS  HELD FOR  SALE

In September 2007, the Company sold the assets  of Triumph  Precision, Inc., a  build-to-specification

manufacturer and supplier of ultra-precision  machined components and assemblies  in its Aerospace
Systems segment. The effective date of  the sale was July 1, 2007.  The Company recognized a pretax
loss of $650 on the sale of the business, which  included costs  to  sell  of  $150. The Company  has also
decided to sell Triumph Precision Castings Co., a casting facility  in its Aftermarket  Services segment
that specializes in producing high-quality  hot  gas path components for aero  and land-based gas
turbines. The Company recognized a  pretax loss of $3,500 in the first  quarter of fiscal  2008 based upon
a write-down of the carrying value of the  business to estimated fair value less  costs to sell. The
write-down was applied to inventory and long-lived  assets, consisting primarily of property,  plant  and
equipment. In October 2008, the Company  exercised the buy  out provision in  the operating lease  on its
casting facility. Accordingly, the property,  plant  and  equipment  related  to the  assets held for sale
increased by $3,535.

Due to failed negotiations with certain potential buyers of  the  business  occurring during fiscal
2010, the Company reassessed its estimated fair value of  the business  based on current viable  offers to
purchase the business, recent performance results and  overall market conditions, resulting  in a
write-down, which was applied to accounts  receivable, inventory and property, plant and equipment.
The Company recognized a pretax loss of  $17,383 in the  third quarter  of fiscal 2010. Included  in the
loss from discontinued operations for  the fiscal  year ended  March 31,  2010 is an  impairment charge  of
$2,512 recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

Revenues of discontinued operations  were $2,128, $10,433 and $10,913 for the fiscal years ended
March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The loss from discontinued operations  was  $17,526, $4,745
and $8,468, net of income tax benefit  of  $9,376, $2,556 and $4,560 for the fiscal years ended March  31,
2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Interest expense of $2,342,  $2,913 and  $2,835 was allocated to

Credit Facility

On August 17, 2009, the Company amended  its existing amended and restated  credit agreement

(the ‘‘Credit Facility’’) with its lenders  to  (i) increase the  availability under  the Credit Facility to
$485,000 from $370,000, (ii) extend the  maturity date to January  31, 2013 and (iii) amend certain other
terms and covenants. The Credit Facility bears interest at either:  (i) LIBOR plus  between 2.25% and
3.50%; (ii) the prime rate; or (iii) an  overnight rate at the option of the Company. The applicable
interest rate is based upon the Company’s ratio of total indebtedness to earnings  before  interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, as defined in the  Credit Facility. In addition, the Company is required
to pay a commitment fee of between  0.30%  and 0.50%  on the unused portion of  the Credit  Facility.
The commitment fee applicable for any  fiscal quarter shall be increased over the  amounts set forth
above by 15 basis points to the extent  the average amounts  outstanding in such fiscal quarter is less
than or equal to 40% of the availability.  The Company’s  obligations under  the Credit  Facility are
guaranteed by the Company’s domestic  subsidiaries. In connection with the  amendment, the Company
incurred $3,946 of bank-related fees. These fees, along with  $934 of unamortized  debt issuance costs
prior to the amendment, are being amortized  into  expense over the remaining  term of the agreement.

On July 10, 2008, the Company amended the Credit Facility with its lenders, primarily to allow for

a receivable securitization facility of up to $125,000  and to amend certain other terms and  covenants.
Coincident with the amendment, the  Company exercised  a provision  of  the Credit Facility to increase
the amount available under the Credit Facility to $370,000  from  $350,000. On  December 22, 2006, the
Company amended the Credit Facility  with its lenders primarily to eliminate a financial covenant
restricting aggregate capital expenditures to 200% of consolidated  depreciation expense in any fiscal
year. The Company’s obligations under  the Credit Facility  are guaranteed  by  the Company’s
subsidiaries. On October 20, 2006, the  Company amended the Credit Facility with  its lenders to
increase the Credit Facility to $350,000  from $250,000,  extend the maturity  date to June 30,  2011 and
amend certain other terms and covenants.

10. LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

At March 31, 2010, there were no borrowings and $6,123 in letters  of credit  outstanding under  the

Credit  Facility. At March 31, 2009, there were $127,730 in borrowings and $5,600 in  letters of  credit
outstanding under the Credit Facility. The  level of unused borrowing capacity  under the Credit Facility
varies  from time to time depending in part upon the  Company’s compliance  with financial and other
covenants set forth in the related agreement. The  Credit Facility contains certain affirmative  and
negative covenants including limitations on  specified levels  of indebtedness to earnings before  interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization, and  interest  coverage  requirements,  and includes  limitations on,
among other things, liens, mergers, consolidations, sales of  assets, and incurrence  of  debt.  The
Company is currently in compliance with  all such  covenants. As  of  March 31,  2010, the Company had
borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility of  $478,877 after  reductions  for borrowings and  letters of
credit outstanding under the Credit Facility.

Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2017

On November 16, 2009, the Company issued $175,000 principal  amount  of  8% Senior

Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the ‘‘2017  Notes’’).  The  2017 Notes were sold  at 98.558%  of principal
amount and have an effective interest yield of 8.25%. Interest on the  2017 Notes is payable
semiannually  in cash in arrears on May 15 and  November 15  of  each year. In connection with the
issuance of the 2017 Notes, the Company incurred approximately $4,390 of costs,  which were deferred
and are being amortized on the effective  interest  method over the term of the  2017 Notes.

The 2017 Notes are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company  and rank

subordinated to all of the existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantor
Subsidiaries (defined below), including  borrowings under  the Company’s existing Credit Facility, and
pari passu with the Company’s and the  Guarantor Subsidiaries’ existing  and future senior subordinated
indebtedness. The 2017 Notes are guaranteed, on a full, joint and several  basis, by each of  our
domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantees any of our  debt  or  that of any of our restricted
subsidiaries under our Credit Facility, and  in  the future  by any  domestic restricted  subsidiaries  that
guarantee any of our debt or that of any  of our domestic  restricted subsidiaries incurred  under any
credit facility (collectively, the ‘‘Guarantor  Subsidiaries’’), in each case on a senior subordinated basis.
If the Company is unable to make payments on the 2017  Notes when they  are due, each of the
Guarantor Subsidiaries would be obligated to make them instead.

The Company has the option to redeem all or  a portion of the 2017 Notes at  any time prior to
November 15, 2013 at a redemption price equal  to  100% of the principal amount of  the 2017 Notes
redeemed plus an  applicable premium set  forth  in the Indenture and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any. The 2017 Notes are also subject  to  redemption, in whole or in part,  at any time on  or after
November 15, 2013, at redemption prices equal to (i) 104% of the principal amount of the 2017 Notes
redeemed, if redeemed prior to November 15,  2014, (ii) 102% of the  principal  amount  of the 2017
Notes redeemed, if redeemed prior to  November 15, 2015 and (iii)  100%  of the principal amount of
the Notes redeemed, if redeemed thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, at any time
prior to November 15, 2012, the Company may redeem  up to 35% of  the principal amount of the 2017
Notes with the net cash proceeds of  qualified equity  offerings at a redemption price equal to 108% of
the aggregate principal amount plus accrued and  unpaid interest,  if any, subject  to  certain  limitations
set forth in the indenture governing the 2017  Notes (the ‘Indenture’’).

10. LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

Upon the occurrence of a change of control, the Company must offer to purchase the  2017 Notes
from holders at 101% of their principal  amount  plus accrued and unpaid  interest,  if  any, to the  date of
purchase. This change of control feature represents an embedded derivative. Since  it is in the control
of the Company to call the Notes at any time after  November 15, 2013, the value of the derivative was
determined to be de minimis. Accordingly, no  value  has been assigned  at  issuance  or at March  31,
2010.

The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability and the
ability of any of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to (i) grant  liens  on its  assets, (ii) make dividend  payments,
other distributions or other restricted  payments,  (iii)  incur restrictions  on the ability of  the Guarantor
Subsidiaries to pay dividends or make  other  payments, (iv) enter  into sale  and leaseback  transactions,
(v) merge, consolidate, transfer or dispose  of  substantially all  of their assets, (vi)  incur  additional
indebtedness, (vii) use the proceeds from  sales of assets,  including capital  stock  of restricted
subsidiaries, and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates.

Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes

On September 18, 2006, the Company issued $201,250 in  convertible senior subordinated notes

(the ‘‘Notes’’). The Notes are direct,  unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of the  Company, and
rank (i) junior in right of payment to  all  of the Company’s  existing and future  senior  indebtedness,
(ii) equal in right of payment with any  other  future  senior  subordinated indebtedness, and  (iii) senior in
right of payment to all subordinated  indebtedness.

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company changed its method of accounting for  its convertible debt
instruments in order to separately account for the liability and equity components of  the Notes  in a
manner that reflects the Company’s nonconvertible  debt  borrowing  rate  when interest and amortization
cost is recognized in subsequent periods.  The excess of the principal  amount  of  the liability component
over its  carrying amount has been recognized as  debt discount and amortized using the  effective
interest method. This change in accounting for  the Notes has been  applied  to  the consolidated financial
statements on a retrospective basis. For  more details on the  impact of this  change on the  consolidated
financial statements, see Note 2. As of  March 31, 2010, the remaining discount of $9,466 will be
amortized on the effective interest method through October 1, 2011.

The Company received net proceeds  from the  sale of the Notes of approximately  $194,998 after
deducting debt issuance costs of approximately $6,252.  The  use of the  net proceeds  from the sale was
for prepayment of the Company’s outstanding Senior  Notes, including a ‘‘make whole’’ premium, fees
and expenses in connection with the prepayment, and to repay a  portion of the outstanding
indebtedness  under the Company’s Credit Facility.  The  issuance  costs have  been allocated to the
respective liability and equity components, with the liability component recorded as  other assets and the
equity component recorded as a reduction  of  equity in the  accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Debt issuance costs are being amortized over a  period of five years.

The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.625% per annum, payable  in cash  semiannually  in
arrears on each April 1 and October  1 beginning April 1, 2007. During the period commencing on
October 6, 2011 and ending on, but excluding,  April 1,  2012 and each six-month period from October 1
to March 31 or from April 1 to September 30  thereafter, the  Company will pay contingent interest

74

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

10. LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

during the applicable interest period if the  average trading price of a Note  for the  five consecutive
trading days ending on the third trading day immediately preceding  the first day of the  relevant
six-month period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of  the  Notes. The  contingent interest
payable per Note in respect of any six-month period  will  equal 0.25% per annum  calculated on the
average trading price of a Note for the  relevant five trading day period. This contingent interest feature
represents an embedded derivative. Since  it is  in the control of the Company to call the Notes at any
time after October 6, 2011, the value of  the derivative  was determined to be de  minimis. Accordingly,
no value has been assigned at issuance or at March  31, 2010.

During  fiscal 2010, the Company paid $3,994 to purchase $4,200 in principal amount of the  Notes,

resulting in a reduction in the carrying amount of the Notes of $3,830  and a  gain on  early
extinguishment of $39. During fiscal  2009, the Company paid $15,420 to purchase $18,000 of principal
on the Notes, resulting in a gain on early extinguishment of $880.

The Notes mature on October 1, 2026  unless earlier redeemed, repurchased  or converted. The
Company may redeem the Notes for cash, either in whole or in part, anytime on  or after October  6,
2011 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal  amount  of the Notes to be redeemed plus
accrued and unpaid interest, including  contingent interest and additional  amounts,  if  any, up to but not
including the date of redemption. In  addition, holders  of  the Notes will  have the right to require  the
Company to repurchase for cash all or  a  portion of their Notes on October 1, 2011, 2016 and 2021, at
a repurchase  price equal to 100% of  the  principal  amount  of  the Notes  to be repurchased  plus accrued
and unpaid interest, including contingent  interest and additional amounts,  if  any, up to, but not
including, the date of repurchase. The Notes  are convertible  into  the Company’s  common stock at  a
rate equal to 18.3655 shares per $1,000  principal amount of  the  Notes  (equal to an  initial conversion
price of approximately $54.45 per share),  subject to adjustment as  described in the  Indenture.  Upon
conversion, the Company will deliver  to  the  holder  surrendering the  Notes for conversion, for each
$1,000 principal amount of Notes, an amount consisting of cash equal to the lesser  of  $1,000 and the
Company’s total conversion obligation  and,  to  the extent that the Company’s total conversion obligation
exceeds $1,000, at the Company’s election,  cash or shares of the  Company’s common  stock  in respect
of the remainder.

A holder may surrender its Notes for  conversion: (i) during any  fiscal quarter if the last reported

sale price of the Company’s common  stock for at  least 20 trading days during the  period of 30
consecutive trading days ending on the last  trading  day  of the previous  fiscal quarter is more  than
130% of the applicable conversion price  per  share of  the Company’s common  stock  on such trading
day; (ii) during the five business days immediately following any five consecutive trading-day period in
which  the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of a  Note for each day  of that period  was  less  than
98% of the product of the closing price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate of the
Notes on each such day; (iii) if the Company  has called  the Notes for  redemption; (iv) on  the
occurrence of a specified corporate transaction as provided in the indenture  governing the Notes
(i.e., change in control, distribution of  rights or  warrants  to purchase  common stock below market
value, distribution of assets (including cash) with a per share  value  exceeding 10% of the market value
of common stock); or (v) during the two-month period  prior to maturity (starting August 1,  2026).  The
last reported sale price of the Company’s  common  stock on any date  means the closing sales price  per
share on such date as reported by the New York Stock Exchange.

10. LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

For the periods from October 1, 2007  through December  31, 2007 and January  1, 2008 through
March 31, 2008, the Notes were eligible for  conversion; however, during this period, none of the Notes
were converted. The Company has classified  the Notes  as long-term as of March 31,  2010.

To be included in the calculation of diluted earnings  per  share, the  average price of  the Company’s

common stock for the fiscal year must  exceed the conversion price per share of $54.45. The average
price of the Company’s common stock  for the  fiscal years ended March  31, 2010 and March 31, 2009
was $46.68 and $46.49, respectively. Therefore, no additional shares  were included in the  diluted
earnings per share calculations for those  fiscal years. The  average price of  the Company’s common
stock for the fiscal year ended March  31,  2008 was $68.95. Therefore,  777,059 additional shares were
included in the diluted earnings per  share calculation.

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change, holders of the  Notes will have the  right, subject
to certain conditions, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a  portion of its Notes at a
repurchase price equal to 100% of the  principal amount of the Notes to be  repurchased plus  accrued
and unpaid interest, including contingent  interest and additional amounts,  if  any.

Receivable Securitization Program

In August 2008, the Company entered into a  receivable securitization facility (the ‘‘Securitization

Facility’’). In connection with the Securitization Facility,  the Company sells on  a revolving  basis certain
accounts receivable to Triumph Receivables, LLC,  a wholly-owned special-purpose  entity, which in  turn
sells  a percentage ownership interest in the receivables  to  commercial paper conduits sponsored by
financial institutions. The Company is the  servicer of the accounts  receivable under the  Securitization
Facility. As of March 31, 2010, the maximum amount available under  the Securitization Facility was
$123,467, secured by $164,075 in accounts  receivable. The Securitization Facility  is due to expire  in
August 2010 and is subject to annual  renewal through August 2013. Interest  rates are based on
prevailing market rates for short-term  commercial  paper plus a  program  fee and a commitment fee.
The program fee is 0.85% on the amount outstanding under the  Securitization Facility. Additionally,
the commitment fee is 0.65% on 102% of  the maximum amount available under the Securitization
Facility. At March 31, 2010, there was  $75,000 outstanding under the Securitization  Facility,
representing the minimum borrowing requirement. In connection  with entering  into  the Securitization
Facility, the Company incurred approximately $823  of costs, which were deferred  and are  being
amortized over the life of the Securitization Facility. The  Company securitizes its accounts  receivable,
which  are generally non-interest bearing, in  transactions that are accounted for as borrowings pursuant
to the Transfers and Servicing topic of the ASC.

The agreement governing the Securitization Facility contains restrictions  and covenants  which
include limitations on the making of certain  restricted payments, creation of certain liens, and certain
corporate acts such as mergers, consolidations and the sale of substantially all assets.

Equipment Leasing Facility and Other Capital Leases

During  March 2009, the Company entered into a  7-year Master Lease Agreement (‘‘Leasing
Facility’’) creating a capital lease of certain existing property and  equipment, resulting  in net proceeds
of $58,546 after deducting debt issuance  costs of approximately $188. During fiscal  2010, the Company

76

TRIUMPH GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

10. LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

originated additional capital lease financing  resulting in  proceeds of  $13,942. The net proceeds from the
Leasing Facility were used to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s
Credit  Facility. The debt issuance costs have been  recorded as other  assets in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets and are  being amortized over the term of the Leasing Facility.  The  Leasing
Facility bears interest at a weighted-average  fixed  rate of 6.1% per annum.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company  has  federal  and state net operating loss  carryforwards of

$65,032 expiring in various years through 2030.

Net income taxes paid during the fiscal years ended  March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were $27,990,

$28,713 and $21,740, respectively. The Company also has a foreign net operating loss  carryforward of
$351 for which a valuation allowance  has been established. There was no change in total  valuation
allowance for fiscal 2010.

The Company has classified uncertain  tax  positions as  noncurrent  income  tax liabilities unless
expected to be paid in one year. Penalties  and  tax-related interest  expense are  reported as a component
of income tax expense. As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, the  total  amount of accrued income tax-related
interest and penalties was $403 and $357,  respectively.

As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, the total amount of unrecognized  tax  benefits was $4,434  and

$3,211, respectively, of which $3,331 and $3,188, respectively,  would impact the effective rate, if
recognized. The Company anticipates that  total  unrecognized tax benefits may  be  reduced  by  $620 due
to the expiration of statutes of limitation  for various federal tax issues in  the next 12  months.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company  was subject to examination in state jurisdictions for the fiscal

years ended March 31, 2005 through March 31, 2008,  none of which  the Company believes is
individually material. The Company has  filed appeals  in a state  jurisdiction related  to  fiscal years ended
March 31, 1999 through March 31, 2005. The Company believes  appropriate provisions for all
outstanding issues have been made for all jurisdictions and  all open years.

service. The Company also sponsors  an unfunded supplemental executive retirement plan (‘‘SERP’’)
that provides retirement benefits to certain key employees.

The Company is required to measure plan assets  and  benefit obligations as  of the date  of the

Company’s fiscal year-end. The requirement  was effective for fiscal years ending  after December  15,
2008, and was not to be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted the  measurement provisions on
March 31, 2009. Only the Company’s union  plans were affected by  these measurement provisions, since
the union plans had a December 31 measurement  date. The net  periodic benefit cost  for the  period
between December 31, 2008 and March  31, 2009 of  approximately $27  was recognized,  net of tax,
during the fiscal year ended March 31,  2009.

The following table sets forth the Company’s consolidated defined benefit  pension plans for its

union employees and its SERP as of March 31, 2010  and 2009, and the amounts recorded in  the
consolidated balance sheets at March  31, 2010 and 2009.  Company  contributions  include amounts
contributed directly to plan assets and  indirectly  as benefits  are paid  from  the Company’s  assets.

The discount rate is generally based  on the yield on high-quality corporate  fixed-income
investments. At the end of each year, the  discount  rate is primarily  determined using the results of
bond yield curve models based on a portfolio of high-quality bonds matching notional cash inflows with
the expected benefit payments for each  significant benefit  plan.

The following table shows those amounts expected to be recognized in net period benefit costs

capital with a moderate level of volatility  by investing assets per the  target allocations stated above. The
assets will be reallocated periodically,  but  in no  event less than  every six months, to meet the above
target allocations. The investment policy will be reviewed  on a regular basis, in conjunction with an
investment advisor, to determine if the policy should  be  changed.

14. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (Continued)

Determination of Expected Long-Term  Rate of  Return

The expected long-term rate of return for the plans’ total assets is  based on the expected return of

each  of the above categories, weighted  based  on the median of  the  target allocation for each class.
Equity securities are expected to return 10%  to  11% over the  long-term, while cash and fixed income is
expected to return between 4% to 6%. Based on historical experience, the  Committee expects that the
plans’ asset managers will provide a  modest (0.5% to 1.0% per annum) premium to their respective
market benchmark indices.

Anticipated Contributions to Defined Benefit  Plans

Assuming a normal retirement age of  65, the Company  expects to contribute approximately $2,881

to its pension plans during fiscal 2011.

15. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company has stock incentive plans under which  employees and non-employee directors may

be granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s common  stock  at the  fair value  at the  time of
the grant. Employee options and non-employee director options generally vest over three to four years
and expire ten years from the date of the  grant. Compensation  expense recognized for  all  option grants
is net of estimated forfeitures and is recognized over the  awards’ respective requisite service periods.
There were no employee or non-employee  director options granted  during  fiscal  2010, 2009 or  2008.
The fair values relating to prior option  grants were  estimated using  a  Black-Scholes option pricing
model. Expected volatilities were based on historical  volatility of the Company’s stock and other
factors, such as implied market volatility.  We used historical exercise data based on the  age at grant of
the option holder to estimate the options’ expected term, which represents the  period of  time that the
options granted are expected to be outstanding. The  Company anticipated the future  option holding
periods to be similar to the historical option holding periods.  The  risk-free rate for periods within the
contractual life of the option was based on  the U.S.  Treasury  yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for the  fair values of these awards on a straight-line
basis over the requisite service period  of these  awards.

In fiscal  2006, the Company approved the  granting of restricted stock as its primary form of share-

based incentive. The restricted shares are subject to forfeiture should the grantee’s employment be
terminated prior to the fourth anniversary  of the  date of  grant, and are included in capital  in excess of
par value. Restricted shares generally vest  in full  after four  years.  The fair value of restricted  shares
under the Company’s restricted stock  plans is  determined by the product of the number of shares
granted and the grant date market price of  the Company’s common stock.  The  fair value of restricted
shares is expensed on a straight-line  basis  over the requisite service period of four years.

The Company recognized $3,220, $3,180  and  $2,809 of share-based compensation expense during

the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010,  2009 and  2008, respectively. The total income tax benefit
recognized for share-based compensation  arrangements for fiscal years ended  March 31, 2010,  2009 and
2008 was $1,107, $1,048 and $937, respectively.  Total share-based compensation expense was  comprised
of stock option expense of $0, $32 and $453  and restricted stock expense of $3,220, $3,148 and $2,356
for the fiscal years ended March 31,  2010, 2009  and  2008, respectively.  The  Company estimates it  will

85

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

15. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS (Continued)

record share-based compensation expense of approximately  $3,400 in  fiscal 2011. This estimate  may be
impacted by potential changes to the  structure of the Company’s share-based compensation plans which
could impact the number of stock options granted in  fiscal  2011, changes  in valuation  assumptions,  and
changes in the market price of the Company’s common stock, among other things and, as a  result, the
actual share-based compensation expense  in fiscal 2011 may differ from the Company’s  current
estimate.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity  and related information for  its option plans for

the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 was as follows:

15. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS (Continued)

In April 2010, 34,061 restricted shares  were  granted following the determination of net earnings

per  share for fiscal 2010. Expected future  compensation  expenses on this  April 2010 grant,  net of
expected forfeitures, is approximately  $1,862, which  is expected to vest over the remaining vesting
period of 3.0 years.

During  the fiscal years ended March  31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, 5,000,  7,800 and  2,500 deferred
stock units were granted to the non-employee members of  the  Board of Directors, respectively,  under
the Directors’ Plan. Each deferred stock unit represents  the contingent right  to  receive one share  of  the
Company’s common stock. The deferred stock  units vest over a  four-year period and the shares  of
common stock underlying vested deferred  stock  units will be delivered on  January 1 of the  year
following the year in which the non-employee  director terminates service as a Director  of  the
Company.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Certain of the Company’s business operations  and  facilities  are subject to a  number of  federal,
state, local and foreign environmental  laws  and  regulations. Former  owners generally  indemnify the
Company for environmental liabilities related to the assets and businesses acquired which existed prior
to the acquisition dates. In the opinion of  management, there are no  significant environmental  concerns
which  would have a material effect on  the financial condition or operating  results of the  Company
which  are not covered by such indemnification.

In the ordinary course of our business, we are also involved  in disputes, claims, lawsuits, and

governmental and regulatory inquiries  that we  deem to be immaterial.  Some may  involve  claims or
potential claims of substantial damages, fines or penalties. While we cannot predict  the outcome of any
pending or future litigation or proceeding  and no assurances can be given, we  do  not  believe that any
pending matter will have a material effect, individually  or in the aggregate, on our financial position or
results of operations.

17. DERIVATIVES

Interest Rate Swap

The Company uses interest rate swaps, a derivative  financial instrument, to manage interest costs
and minimize the effects of interest rate  fluctuations on  cash flows  associated  with its Credit Facility.
The Company does not use derivative  financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. While
interest rate swaps are subject to fluctuations in value,  these fluctuations are generally  offset by the
estimated fair value of the underlying exposures being hedged. The Company follows the Derivatives
and Hedging topic of ASC to account for its interest rate swaps,  which requires  that all  derivatives  be
recorded  on the consolidated balance  sheet  at fair value.  This  topic also  requires that changes in  the
fair value be recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending  on
the effectiveness of hedge transaction. Interest  rate  swaps are designated as cash  flow hedges. Changes
in the fair value of a cash flow hedge, to the extent the hedge is  effective, are recorded,  net of tax,  in
other comprehensive income (loss), a  component of stockholders’ equity, until earnings are  affected by
the variability of the hedged cash flows.  Cash  flow hedge ineffectiveness, defined as  the extent that the

87

TRIUMPH GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

17. DERIVATIVES (Continued)

changes in the fair value of the derivative exceed the  variability  of cash flows  of the forecasted
transaction, is recorded currently in earnings.

In March 2008, the Company entered into an interest  rate  swap agreement (the ‘‘Swap’’), maturing

June 2011 involving the receipt of floating  rate  amounts in exchange for fixed rate  interest payments
over the life of the agreement, without  exchange of the  underlying  principal amount. Under  the Swap,
the Company receives interest equivalent  to  the one-month LIBOR  and pays a fixed rate of interest of
2.925 percent with settlements occurring monthly. The objective of the hedge is  to  eliminate  the
variability of cash flows in interest payments  for $85,000 of floating  rate debt.

In December 2009, the Company elected to de-designate the Swap as a hedge prospectively. As  a

result, changes in fair value from the date of de-designation are recognized  through interest expense
and other in the consolidated statement  of income. For the year ended  March 31, 2010,  $298 was
recognized as a reduction to interest  expense and other for the change  in fair value of the  Swap  from
the date of de-designation through March 31,  2010.

As of March 31, 2010, the total notional amount of the  Company’s receive-variable/pay-fixed
interest rate swap was $85,000. For the year  ended March  31, 2010, $2,252  of losses were reclassified
into earnings from accumulated other  comprehensive income.

The fair value of the interest rate swap of $2,527  and $3,429 for the fiscal years ended March  31,

2010 and 2009, respectively, were included in other noncurrent liabilities.

The effect of derivative instruments in the consolidated statements  of  income  is as follows:

The amount of ineffectiveness on the  interest rate swap is not significant.  The Company estimates
that approximately $2,128 of losses presently  in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be
reclassified into earnings during fiscal  2011.

During  fiscal 2009, the Company entered into certain  foreign currency derivative  instruments that
did not meet hedge accounting criteria and primarily were intended  to  protect against  exposure related
to fiscal 2009 acquisitions. The Company recognized a gain of $1,411  in fiscal 2009, which is included in
interest expense and other related to  these  instruments. No  such instruments were  outstanding in fiscal
2010.

18. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the Fair  Value Measurement and Disclosures topic of the ASC, which requires

additional disclosures about the Company’s assets and liabilities  that are measured  at fair  value and
establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an  entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and

88

TRIUMPH GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

18. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

minimize the use of unobservable inputs  when measuring fair value. The  standard describes three  levels
of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active  markets for  identical  assets or liabilities

Level 2 Unadjusted quoted prices in active  markets for  similar  assets or  liabilities,  or unadjusted
quoted prices for identical or similar assets  or liabilities in markets  that are not active, or
inputs other than quoted prices that  are observable for the asset or liability

Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset  or liability

The following table provides the liabilities reported at  fair value in Other noncurrent liabilities and

measured on  a recurring basis as of March 31, 2010:

The fair value of the interest rate swap  contract is  determined using  observable current market
information as of the reporting date such as the prevailing LIBOR-based  interest rate.  The fair value of
the contingent earnout at the date of acquisition was  $10,500  which was estimated using the  income
approach based on significant inputs that  are not observable  in the market. Key  assumptions  included a
discount rate and probability assessments  of  each milestone payment being made. The assumptions
used to develop the estimate have not changed since the  date of acquisition.

The Financial Instruments topic of  the ASC requires disclosure of the estimated fair value  of

certain financial instruments. These estimated fair values as of  March 31, 2010  and 2009  have been
determined using available market information and appropriate  valuation  methodologies. Considerable
judgment is required to interpret market  data to develop estimates of  fair value.  The estimates
presented are not necessarily indicative  of  amounts the  Company could  realize in a  current market
exchange. The use of alternative market assumptions and estimation methodologies  could  have had  a
material effect on these estimates of fair  value.

Carrying amounts and the related estimated  fair values of  the Company’s financial instruments not

recorded  at fair value in the financial  statements are  as follows:

terms and maturities similar to the Company’s existing debt arrangements.

19. CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

Trade accounts receivable from The Boeing Company (‘‘Boeing’’) represented approximately 26%

and 16% of total accounts receivable as  of March 31, 2010  and  2009, respectively. The  Company had
no other significant concentrations of  credit risk.  Sales to Boeing for fiscal 2010 were $388,975, or  30%
of net sales, of which $352,203 and $36,772 were from the  Aerospace Systems segment  and the
Aftermarket Services segment, respectively. Sales  to  Boeing  for fiscal 2009 were $284,687, or 23% of
net sales, of which $240,494 and $44,193  were from the  Aerospace  Systems segment  and the
Aftermarket Services segment, respectively. Sales  to  Boeing  for fiscal 2008 were $259,516 or 23% of net
sales, of which $215,018 and $44,498  were  from the Aerospace Systems segment and the Aftermarket
Services segment, respectively. No other single customer accounted  for more than  10% of the
Company’s net sales; however, the loss  of any significant customer, including Boeing, could have  a
material adverse effect on the Company and its operating  subsidiaries.

The Company currently generates a majority of its revenue  from  clients in the commercial

aerospace industry, the military, and the  regional airline industry. The Company’s growth and financial
results are largely dependent on continued demand  for its products and  services from clients in these
industries. If any of these industries experiences  a downturn, clients in these sectors may conduct less
business with the Company.

20. COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS

Approximately 9.8% of the Company’s labor force is covered under  collective  bargaining

agreements.

21. SEGMENTS

The Company is organized based on  the products and services  that it provides.  Under  this

organizational structure, the Company  has  two reportable segments: the Aerospace Systems Group  and
the Aftermarket Services Group. The  Company evaluates performance and allocates  resources  based on
operating income of each reportable  segment. The  accounting policies of the reportable segments are
the same as those described in the summary  of  significant accounting policies  (see Note 2). The
Company’s CODM evaluates performance  and  allocates resources based upon review  of segment
information. The CODM utilizes operating income as a  primary  measure of profitability.

The Aerospace Systems segment consists of 39 operating locations,  and the Aftermarket Services

segment consists of 15 operating locations at March  31, 2010.

The Aerospace Systems segment consists of the Company’s  operations that  manufacture products

primarily for the aerospace OEM market.  The segment’s  operations design and  engineer mechanical
and electromechanical controls, such  as hydraulic  systems, main engine gearbox assemblies,
accumulators and mechanical control  cables.  The  segment’s revenues  are  also derived from  stretch
forming, die forming, milling, bonding,  machining,  welding  and assembly and fabrication of  various
structural components used in aircraft  wings, fuselages and other  significant  assemblies.  Further, the
segment’s operations also design and  manufacture composite assemblies for floor panels, environmental
control system ducts, non-structural cockpit components  and thermal acoustic insulation systems. These
products are sold to various aerospace OEMs on  a global basis.

90

TRIUMPH GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

21. SEGMENTS (Continued)

The Aftermarket Services segment consists of  the Company’s operations that provide  maintenance,

repair and overhaul services to both  commercial and military markets on components and accessories
manufactured by third parties. Maintenance, repair  and overhaul revenues are  derived from services on
auxiliary power units, airframe and engine accessories,  including constant-speed drives,  cabin
compressors, starters and generators,  and  pneumatic drive units. In addition, the segment’s  operations
repair and overhaul thrust reversers, nacelle components  and flight control  surfaces. The segment’s
operations also perform repair and overhaul services and supply  spare  parts for various types  of cockpit
instruments and gauges for a broad range of commercial airlines  on  a  worldwide basis.

Segment operating income is total segment revenue  reduced by operating expenses identifiable

with that segment. Corporate includes  general  corporate  administrative costs and  any other  costs not
identifiable with one of the Company’s  segments.

The Company does not accumulate net sales information by product or service or groups of similar

products and services, and therefore the  Company does  not disclose net sales by product  or service
because to do so would be impracticable.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and  Procedures

We  maintain disclosure controls and procedures that  are designed  to  ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our Exchange  Act  reports is  recorded, processed,  summarized and  reported
within the time periods specified in the  SEC’s rules  and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including  our principal executive  officer and
principal financial officer, as appropriate,  to  allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In
designing and evaluating the disclosure  controls and procedures,  management recognized that any
controls and procedures, no matter how  well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable
assurance of achieving the desired control  objectives, and management necessarily was required to
apply  its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of  possible  controls  and procedures.

As of March 31, 2010, we completed an evaluation,  under the  supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our principal executive  officer  and principal  financial
officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls  and procedures.
Based on the foregoing, our principal  executive  officer and principal financial officer concluded that
our  disclosure controls and procedures were  effective at  the reasonable assurance level as of March 31,
2010.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL  OVER  FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of Triumph Group,  Inc. (‘‘Triumph’’) is responsible  for establishing  and

maintaining adequate internal control  over financial  reporting as defined in  Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Triumph’s internal control system  over financial
reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding  the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for  external purposes  in accordance with  U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. The company’s  internal control over financial reporting includes  those
policies and procedures that:

(i) pertain to the maintenance of records  that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect

the transactions and dispositions of the assets  of  the company;

(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded  as necessary to permit

preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors  of  the company; and

(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of  unauthorized

acquisition, use or  disposition of the  company’s assets that could have  a  material effect on  the
financial statements.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over  financial  reporting may not prevent or detect

misstatements. Therefore, even those  systems  determined  to be effective can  provide only reasonable
assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future  periods  are subject to risk that controls may become  inadequate
because of changes in condition, or that the degree of compliance  with the  policies  or procedures may
deteriorate.

Triumph’s management assessed the effectiveness  of  Triumph’s internal  control over financial
reporting as of March 31, 2010. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth  by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations  of the Treadway Commission  (COSO) in  Internal Control-
Integrated Framework. Based on management’s  assessment and those  criteria, management  believes
that Triumph maintained effective internal  control  over financial reporting  as of March 31,  2010.

Triumph’s independent registered public accounting  firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has audited the
Company’s effectiveness of Triumph’s  internal control over financial  reporting. This report appears  on

Report of Independent Registered Public  Accounting  Firm on Internal Control  Over
Financial Reporting

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders  of Triumph Group, Inc.

We  have audited Triumph Group, Inc.’s  internal control over financial reporting as of March 31,
2010, based on criteria established in  Internal Control—Integrated Framework  issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission  (the  COSO criteria).  Triumph Group Inc.’s
management is responsible for maintaining  effective internal  control over financial reporting,  and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal  control over financial reporting included  in the
accompanying Management’s Report  on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based  on our audit.

We  conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of  the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those  standards require that we  plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether  effective  internal control over financial reporting was maintained
in all material respects. Our audit included  obtaining an understanding  of internal control  over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that a  material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control based  on the assessed risk, and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in  the circumstances. We  believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide  reasonable

assurance regarding the reliability of  financial  reporting and the preparation  of  financial  statements  for
external  purposes in accordance with  generally accepted accounting  principles. A company’s internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)  pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable  detail, accurately and fairly reflect the  transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions  are
recorded  as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in  accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made  only
in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and  (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention  or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of the company’s assets that  could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over  financial  reporting may not prevent or

detect misstatements. Also, projections  of any evaluation  of  effectiveness to future periods are  subject
to the risk that controls may become inadequate  because of changes in conditions or  that  the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Triumph Group, Inc. maintained, in all material respects,  effective internal  control

over financial reporting as of March  31,  2010, based  on the COSO  criteria.

We  also have audited, in accordance  with the standards of  the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the  consolidated balance sheets of Triumph Group, Inc.,  as of
March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated  statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period  ended March  31, 2010 and our report dated
May 14, 2010 expressed an unqualified  opinion thereon.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In addition to management’s evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as discussed  above,

we continue to review and enhance our  policies and procedures for internal control over financial
reporting.

We  have developed and implemented a formal set  of internal controls and procedures for  financial
reporting in accordance with the SEC’s rules regarding management’s report on  internal controls. As a
result of continued review and testing  by management  and by our  internal and independent  auditors,
additional changes may be made to our internal controls  and  procedures. However, we  did not make
any changes to our internal control over financial reporting  in our  fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 that has
materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially  affect our  internal control over  financial
reporting.
